Great idea. I believe that's Sanchez as in Rick Sanchez formerly of CNN. I like this idea.  Are we talking about the newly issued Clarence Thomas incident involving his wife leaving a phone message for Anita Hill demanding that she apologize for accusations made against Clarence Thomas during the 1990's senate hearings?  I like it, if yes and of course the Juan Williams formerly of NPR debacle-sounds like great fodder to me.

I think yes, we do want to address the Thomas, Williams, Shanchez firings. I think the water is murky, re: commentators and traditional journalists. There is lots of tension between print and broadcast. And broadcast doesn’t seem to appreciate the difference between commentators and journalists.

I am just raising the question: Do we want to think about a plenary that addresses the recent firings of Juan Williams, Rick Sanchez and Helen Thomas? I am not in a position right now to write a proposal, but I do think this is an opportunity to discuss very important issues relative to the field of journalism education and the practice of journalism. 

With kindness,
