Judith Miller speaking engagement - NYC 03 Feb

From today's edition of the Mediabistro e-mail newsletter The Press List in my inbox ...

On Tuesday, the New York County Lawyers' Association hosts a panel discussing the use of confidential sources, featuring none other than controversial former New York Times reporter Judith Miller. Miller may ring bells for media types due to her role in the "Plamegate" scandal in 2005, when she went to jail to protect a source in the Bush Administration who had given her the name of an undercover CIA agent whose husband published statements critical of the war in Iraq. Prior to "Plamegate," Miller had published a series of questionable reports in the Times that many believe exaggerated the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. While some observers see Miller as a First Amendment hero for protecting her sources, still others view her as a shill for the Bush White House. Both her fans and her detractors will probably find plenty to debate in what she has to say on Tuesday.

It's a "forum on sourcing with lawyers and reporters" called Protecting Journalists and Their Confidential Sources: A Matter of Privilege. More details here.

Anybody going? Open to the public, RSVP required to this person via e-mail. Could be interesting but I'm not anywhere near NYC.
