Google’s Gathering

Google is scheduled to hold an event for news industry professionals at its Washington D.C. offices on Wednesday, March 3. The event begins at 6:30 pm EST with a conversation between The Atlantic’s James Fallows and Google’s Josh Cohen re: journalism in the digital era, Google’s place in it, followed by drinks, food, and networking.

Don’t expect skimping. Google has a reputation for putting on a nice spread. Technically the event is not open. But if someone really wants to go, e-mail us at fishbowldc AT mediabistro DOT com and we’ll see about getting you acquainted with the organizers.

Journalists and higher-ups from a variety of publications and organizations have RSVP’d to attend, including: WaPo, Bloomberg, LAT, The Atlantic, Wired, Gannet, AJR, WTOP, USA Today, The Poynter Institute, TPM, NPR, Nat. Assoc. of Black Journalists, Nat. Assoc. of Hispanic Journalists, CNN, GWU, and Oxford University.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
