FREE EVENT - ARTS JOURNALISM IN A DIGITAL AGE - FREE EVENT
Tuesday, October 9 - Panel at 6:30 pm panel & Reception to follow
Arts reporting today face a conundrum. While coverage in legacy media has shrunk—for example in reduced book review sections—social media users and citizen reviewers have real clout but do not necessarily consider themselves journalists. Amid the torrent of likes, retweets and replies, just what is the current role of the professional reviewer and critic? The Society of Professional Journalists-Deadline Club presents a top panel of book, film, theatre and visual arts journalists who will debate how their jobs, coverage and the art media landscape have evolved with the modern age.
A.O. Scott, New York Times film critic
Michael Riedel, theatre critic, and radio host
Susan Shapiro, author of The Byline Bible along with eight other titles
Mimi Wong, visual arts
Moderator: Gary Shapiro, board member of the Deadline Club, which is the NY chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists
What: Arts Journalism in the Digital Age
When: Tuesday, October 9, 2018. Panel 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Gallery, followed by a mixer until 9:30 p.m. in the club’s Bar/Billiards Room (with light snacks & cash bar) and chance to view the Salmagundi’s current American Masters Exhibit.
Where: Salmagundi Club 47 Fifth Avenue, New York City (at West 12 St.)
