Panel Discussion on Journalism and Terrorism Set for Nov. 2
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- A panel discussion on journalism and terrorism will
be held at 4 p.m. Nov. 2 in the first-floor rear lobby of Cal Poly's
Kennedy Library.
The public is invited to attend the event and a reception that follows.
Discussion will focus on aspects of terrorism and media reporting since
the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington, D.C.
Panelists include Sandra Duerr, vice president and executive
editor at The Tribune, and Sonia Slutzki, managing editor of the
university's Mustang Daily.
Also on the panel will be Mark Sappenfield, a correspondent with The
Christian Science Monitor, who is appearing at Cal Poly in conjunction
with the touring exhibit "'This is woman's hour ...' -- The Life of
Mary Baker Eddy," on display in the Kennedy Library.
Hiram L. Davis, dean of library services, will open the program.
Marceil DeLacy, international speaker on the life of Mary Baker Eddy,
will give brief remarks and serve as moderator. She will discuss
Eddy's purpose in founding The Christian Science Monitor in 1908 when
she was 87. The Christian Science Monitor has been published
continuously for 93 years and has won numerous awards, including six
Pulitzer prizes.
The exhibit on Eddy's life was first displayed as an "untold story" in
the Women's Rights National Historical Park Visitors Center in Seneca
Falls, N.Y. Since then, it has toured major metropolitan and
university libraries, statehouses and museums throughout the United
States.
The exhibit's stop at Cal Poly is part of a yearlong tour of Southern
and Central California.
Complimentary copies of The Christian Science Monitor will be available
at the reception.
The exhibit will be open during regular Kennedy Library hours:
Monday-Thursday 7:30 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday 7:30 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday
