I’m off to the big city this week. As I previously noted, on Wednesday I will do a Nation event with Dan Rather and Jane Mayer.
The Nation presents a conversation on the future of news, featuring legendary newscaster Dan Rather, investigative reporter and best-selling author Jane Mayer, pioneering blogger Marcy Wheeler, and longtime editor and publisher–now publisher emeritus–of The Nation, Victor Navasky. Hosted by Katrina vanden Heuvel.
What will the media look like in five years? The discussion will explore the shape and consequences of fundamental shifts in the media landscape. There will also be ample time for audience questions. A cocktail reception with food will follow the discussion. Take this opportunity to hear from and meet some of the most influential journalists of our time.

If you want to go, buy tickets in advance and use this code: RAC102 for half off the ticket price.
The rest of the week, I’m going to be in and out of the Clinton Global Initiative. I should get to see both Clinton and Obama speak, as well as that guy who won the most votes in 2000.
And, if I can find CSPAN tomorrow and Wednesday, I’ll try to check in on the PATRIOT hearings (11AM Tuesday for HJC; 10AM Wednesday for SJC).
If nothing else, I’ll try to post pictures of all the muckety mucks in NYC this week.
Otherwise, you know the drill: bmaz will be raiding the liquor cabinet, you’ll all trash the place, but by the time I get back you’ll have managed to shampoo the carpets so I can pretend I don’t notice a thing.
