Jewcy To-Do: New Voices Seminar on Student Journalism

Izzy and I will be at the Jewcy-sponsored New Voices Seminar for Student Journalists (possibly as panel speakers) on March 28 – 30 in New York City.

I've always wanted to see Arguing the World: The Legacy of the New York Intellectuals, which is being exhibited.

Tickets are $100 a pop, but eminently worth it. Click here for more details.

Featured Events and Panels: – Screening of Arguing the World: The Legacy of the New York Intellectuals, roundtable discussion, reception. – Tours of the New York Times, The Nation, Harper's – Journalistic Ethics: What are they?

What is the role of the critic? How do they have authority? – Jewish Peoplehood: Does it exist? To what end? – Inside the Editorial Board Room: How do decisions get made? How are ideas generated?
