Tomorrow in DC: The Future of News w/ Free Press, The Nation, UNITY and Firedoglake

This one slid off my desk last Friday, hoping that some of you in DC still have time to slip into this FreePress-sponsored event in DC tomorrow:

I hope those of you in the D.C. area can join us next Tuesday night at the National Press Club for an event and discussion about the future of news. Free Press co-founders Robert W. McChesney and John Nichols will be talking about journalism in America today -- and how we can save it. They'll be joined by Jane Hamsher, founder and publisher of Firedoglake.com; Chris Hayes, Washington editor of The Nation; and Ivan Roman, executive director of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.

It's free and open to the public. Here are the details:

What: A conversation about the future of journalism When: Tuesday, Feb. 16, 7 p.m. Where: The National Press Club - Holeman Lounge 529 14th Street, NW Washington, DC 20045

RSVP: Go to the Facebook event page.

Co-sponsors: Free Press, The Nation, UNITY: Journalists of Color, the National Association of Black Journalists, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and Firedoglake.com.
