About That Box On The Right…

You'll notice that we've put a box linking to a Reuters panel on the right hand side of the site. The panel, which will take place Wednesday night, concerns whether the media is "telling the real story" in Iraq. I will be attending, and one of the participants will be CBS News' Lara Logan*. If you'd like more information about the event and the panelists, go here, where you can find out more and watch the event live.

As for why we've posted the box, it's a little bit of cross promotion. Reuters has posted a link to Public Eye on their site, and we thought we would link to them as well, since the panel covers ground we think our readers are interested in. Reuters did not pay for the placement, and we did not pay for placement on their site.

*UPDATE: I've just learned that Lara Logan, who is presently in Iraq, will be unable to attend the panel.
