For those of you considering proposing and/or being part of a panel on this subject, I suggest you read Michael Moore's open letter to Juan Williams: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-10-22/michael-moore-on-the-juan-williams-scandal-you-were-right/?cid=columnists My own two cents' : Mini-plenary OK; full plenary, maybe not. Cheers, Federico Federico Subervi, Ph.D. Professor & Director Center for the Study of Latino Media & Markets School of Journalism & Mass Communication Texas State University - San Marcos (512) 245-5267 Academic office; Tuesdays & Thursdays only (512) 250-0487 home office > > > 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, > > Anita Fleming-Rife >
