Journalism symposium March 5

Two Pulitzer Prize winning journalists with combined experience of more than 50 years in covering war, conflict and U.S. military affairs will be the main speakers at a symposium Friday, March 5, focusing on media coverage of the conflict in Iraq .

New York Times war correspondent Chris Hedges and free-lance writer Seymour Hersh will speak at Fresno State's first Roger Tatarian Symposium in Journalism, "Covering the War after the War," that will examine how well the media has covered the Iraq conflict since the fall of Baghdad about a year ago and other related issues about the Iraq war.

The free symposium will be from 9 a.m. to noon at the Satellite Student Union.

It is sponsored by the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism and the Roger Tatarian Endowment for Journalism.
