Nieman Program on Secrecy Open to Club Members

NPC members have been invited to attend a one-day conference, “From Watergate to WikiLeaks: Journalism and Secrecy in the New Media Age,” Thrusday, Dec. 16, at Walter Lippmann House in Cambridge, Mass.

The Nieman foundation for Journalism at Harvard-sponsored event will explore how secrets are investigated, shared and filtered (or not) in an era of self-publishing, online whistle-blowing, data mining and social media websites. It will discuss journalism’s role—what it traditionally has been and what it can or should be in this new environment. There is no charge for NPC members.
