Moderated by Eric Black, Star Tribune Reporter and Author of The Big Question blog
October 30, Noon – 1:30 p.m.
Cowles Auditorium, Humphrey Center

Campaigns and elections are being digitally remastered. Bloggers and the internet may be producing a revolution in information and public debate that is as radical as the changes introduced by radio and television. David Carr, New York Times columnist and longtime journalist and editor, will lead a discussion on blogs and American elections. Eric Black, reporter and author of The Big Question blog for the Star Tribune, will moderate. Commentary will be offered by Joe Bodell who runs the blog MN Campaign Report – www.mncampaignreport.com and by Michael Brodkorb who operates the blog MN Democrats Exposed – www.minnesotademocratsexposed.com. The discussion promises to be lively and informative.
DAVID CARR: began working at the Times in 2002. Prior to arriving at the Times, Carr was a contributing writer for The Atlantic Monthly and New York Magazine, writing articles that ranged from homeland security issues to the movie industry. He also served as editor of the Washington City Paper for five years and the Minneapolis-based Twin Cities Reader from 1993 to 1995.
