\n12:30-1:30 p.m.
\nCrawford Hall – Room 9
\nInamori Center
\nCase Western Reserve University<\/h5>\n

With an amorphous “war on terror” but some actual terrorists; strident and partisan outlets but people getting their news from Comedy Central; economics-driven cutbacks in traditional companies while bloggers and YouTube circulate stories at the speed of the internet, the journalism profession faces both old and new challenges. So there is lots to discuss with two award-winning journalists from our CWRU community: Ted Gup, the Shirley Wormser Professor of Journalism in our Department of English, and Chris Sheridan, special assistant and director of presidential communications for President Barbara Snyder.<\/p>\n

Co-sponsored by the Inamori International Center for Ethics and Excellence<\/p>\n

The Friday Lunch is a brown-bag event open to all. Cookies and some beverages are provided<\/p>\n

The remainder of this e-mail reports what we know about the schedule for the rest of the semester. We will be sending out announcements each week. If you would prefer not to receive the announcements, please inform Dr. Andrew Lucker, Associate Director of the Center for Policy Studies, by e-mail (andrew.lucker@case.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Friday Lunch discussions are held on the lower (ground) level of
\nCrawford Hall.\u00a0 Visitors with mobility issues may find it easiest to take advantage of special arrangements we have made.\u00a0 On most Fridays, a few parking spaces in the V.I.P. lot in between Crawford Hall and Amasa Stone Chapel are held for participants in the lunch discussion.<\/p>\n

Visitors then can avoid walking up the hill to the first floor of Crawford by entering the building on the ground level, through the garage area under the building.\u00a0 The further door on the left in that garage will be left unlocked during the period before the Friday lunch.\u00a0 On occasion, parking will be unavailable because of other university events.<\/p>\n
