Are You a Reporter or a Scofflaw? Show Up and Find Out!
The LA Press Club and PR Newswire are hosting a panel discussion about celebrity journalism Thursday at 7:30 p.m. (drinking begins at 6:30 p.m.) at The Steve Allen Theater.
Panelists include LA Criminal defense attorney Blair Berk; Paparazzo Giles Harrison, of London Entertainment/Splash News; Rob Nelson, of KABC-AM790 and E! Entertainment THS Investigates, and the NYT's Allison Hope Weiner.
The got themselves a moderator from the BBC -- David Willis -- so you know they're legit.
Among the topics to be discussed:
What is News? What is Entertainment? Is there still a line? Does it even matter anymore? Can taking a picture be dangerous? Are celebrities asking for it or are they victims of media mayhem run amok? And who is getting rich and who is just getting mad!
LA Press Club members can mull these questions for free. Everyone else has to fork up 10 bucks.
