2. A conversation with Leonard Pitts Jr.

"Guts: False Objectivity and the Danger of Truth," an argument that when news media embrace polite euphemism - "racially charged" as a description for the Charleston marches, "misleading" for the lying president - they disserve the public and abdicate one of the primary functions of journalism, which is to impose judgment.

3. Pre-conference workshops

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8, join regional media and human rights experts and leading editors from the International Press Institute's global network for conversations on how to support independent, professional coverage of conflict and democracy at home and abroad. This workshop is hosted by the Al Jazeera Media Network and IPI. 
There will be two other pre-conference workshops Sunday, Oct. 8. One (from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m) will be about building trust through community engagement; the other (from 2 to 5 p.m.) will be a presentation on the Table Stakes project by Knight Foundation. 

To sign up for these workshops, email ASNE Communications Coordinator Jiyoung Won at jwon@asne.org.
