The 2006 Silk Journalism Panel, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. in Founders Great Hall on Sunday, April 2, will feature four of the most distinguished journalists in America. All four are Haverford graduates: John Carroll '63, former executive vice president and editor of The Los Angeles Times, currently the first Knight Visiting Lecturer at Harvard's Shorenstein Center; Loren Ghiglione '63, dean of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University; Norm Pearlstine '64, former editor in chief of Time, Inc.; and Dennis Stern '69, senior vice president and deputy general manager of The New York Times. The panel will discuss the future of print journalism.

This event is free and open to the public.

The Silk Journalism Panel was established in memory of Andrew Silk, a 1976 Haverford graduate and talented journalist who died in 1981. The program continues to be supported by Andrew's family, and Andrew's brother, Mark Silk, is the panel moderator. Mark directs the Leonard Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life at Trinity College, and is a former editor and reporter who has written a number of books on religion and the media.

A reception in Founders Great Hall will follow the panel discussion. RSVP for the reception by March 31 by contacting Janet Heron at (610) 896-1423 or jheron [at] haverford.edu.
