May 1: The Future of News
April 26, 2010 by The Catskill Chronicle
LIVINGSTON MANOR – The final night of the Mike Levine Workshop is open to the public for a discussion of media in the 21st century 7 p.m. Saturday, May 1, in Livingston Manor. Neil Swidey of the Boston Globe and Leslie Thornton of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State will lead a roundtable discussion on the Future of News.
Swidey, Thornton and more than 20 journalists from across the nation will talk about what’s happening to journalism and the news business as it goes through its biggest transformation in recent history. The open discussion welcomes comments and questions from the public. The roundtable starts at 7 p.m. at the Shandelee Lake Inn, Livingston Manor, NY.
All those attending the roundtable are then welcome to stick around for a rare Catskills performance of the Dan Brother Band, now at the top of the notch for the kind of rock-edged blues that has become the calling card of the DBB. The music starts at 9 p.m. A donation of $10 is suggested for the News & Blues doubleheader.
The event is a benefit for the Mike Levine Workshop, an annual gathering of journalists which is named for the late Times Herald-Record columnist, editor and mentor to many. Journalists meet for hands-on training and for a weekend of discovery about their craft. This year’s gathering includes journalists from Kansas City, Tennessee, Wyoming and nearer by and is led, in part, by recently named Pulitzer Prize finalist Ben Montgomery of the St. Petersburg Times in Florida.
To get to the Shandelee Lake Inn, take Route 17, Exit 96, make a quick right, left and then right onto Main Street, Livingston Manor; keep going straight up the hill about 4 miles to the Back Shandelee Road. See a sign for the Shandelee Lake Inn. Make a right, inn is just ahead. Address: 31 Back Shandelee Road, Livingston Manor, NY 12758. Contact: info@mikelevineworkshop.org or call 845-741-8146.
