Re: GEN: LM_NET not "sad, lonely world in cyberspace"

[Bonnie Bracey <BBracey@AOL.COM>]

In the Washington area, television has been the depressing factor, for those
who continue to look at the ever more voyerist and salacious news.There is a
problem , and it is consumerism, and of course there are other problems.

If you are in our area , here is a relief. It may be that media specialist
need to educate the public, and you could organize your own projects.. on
believing the media.


American University's School of Communication is sponsoring a FREE public
forum on Tuesday,
Sept. 8.  It will be held from 7:30pm-9:00 pm in the Kay Spiritual Life
Center on AU's main campus. The forum is entitled:

 "Extra! Extra! Read All About It: Lies, Deception and Reckless Spin in the
News"
panelists include:
Brent Bozell, Media Research Center, David Carr, editor, Wash City Paper,
Karen DeYoung, asst. managing editor, Wash Post and Sam Fulwood III,
columnist, L.A. Times. The discussion will be moderated by Sanford U.
Ungar, dean of the School of Communication

Please contact (202) 885-2074 if you need additional information or if you
would like directions to our campus.

Perhaps these people would help us do a national take on the news.. and data
and so on.
