Event Details

The Proposition 8 trial underway in San Francisco presents a special problem for gay and lesbian reporters. How do they cover the trial objectively? And frankly, given that many write for the gay community which has strong feelings on the issue, should they? We're assembled some of the top reporters in town to discuss this and other aspects of one of the nation's most significant trials in the new century. Panelists include:

 
 
* Andrew Harmon, senior editor for The Advocate, advocate.com
* Ted Johnson, managing editor of Variety and blogger at wilshireandwashington.com
*  Karen Ocamb, editor for Frontiers In LA and blogger at LGBT POV and the Huffington Post.
 
The panel will be moderated by Jon Beaupre, veteran radio reporter and anchor for NPR affiliate KPCC and a journalism professor at Cal State Los Angeles.
 
The discussion will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25, at the Los Angeles Press Club in the Steve Allen Theater, 4773 Hollywood Blvd., one block west of Vermont Ave., in Los Feliz. (Metro: Vermont/Sunset station). Free parking and refreshments. Open to everyone.
