Talking Points Memo founder to give Knight Lecture
Josh Marshall, founder of the influential blog Talking Points Memo, will give the 20th annual Knight Lecture at Stanford.
In the seven years since Marshall created the blog, during the 2000 election Florida recount, it has grown into a major enterprise, including TPMMuckraker, TPM Election Central, and TPMCafé. Its coverage has often been ahead of mainstream news media, which was recognized this year when Marshall became the first blogger to win a George Polk award. The award was given for his coverage of the politically motivated dismissals of United States attorneys across the country, which ultimately led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The title of his talk is "New Frontier: Journalism's Opportunity in Web 2.0." The talk will be given at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 28, in Jordan Hall Lecture Hall 041. It is free and open to the public. The lecture is sponsored by the John S. Knight Fellowships for Professional Journalists.
