Writers-at-Large

Symposium:

"Writers of the Storm: Fake News, and Public Decency, in the Age of Terror"

Writers-at-Large, a California-based writers' advocacy group, and The New School, are delighted to bring you this "Writers of the Storm" forum which will address, among other things, a free press under fire, censorship, what the concept of decency means, who gets to decide that, and why, as well as whether that decision diminishes the power of the pen, the dignity of writers, as well as the importance of diversity of opinion.

Keynote: Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times, David Cay Johnston. The panel will be moderated by playwright, and KPFK radio's Terrence McNally, and feature panelists Danny Goldberg, CEO of Air America; Arthur Kopit, Paul Robeson, Jr., Anne Waldman; Bob Hershon; and Phil Rockstroh; hosted by poet, and founder, of Writers-at-Large: Jayne Lyn Stahl.
