FREE POETRY READING

In this 10-week writing workshop, Qui Vive! writers joined poet Tyler Doherty and professor Leif Gustavson to explore, exploit, and explode the conventions of catalogue verse, otherwise known as the list poem. Participants modeled forms from the snarky 13^th century midnight jottings of Japanese courtier Sei Shonagon, through the scope and splendor of lists that populate Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, to the playful and detail-packed “Things to do” catalogues of Beat poet, Gary Snyder.

We are pleased to host this American Press Institute seminar on journalism ethics in the digital age.

The seminar has these primary purposes:

* To help journalists consider how to apply established ethical standards to the decisions relating to digital technology and interactive communication.
* To help journalists consider new ethical standards when established standards do not seem to fit decisions relating to digital technology and interactive communication.
* To help journalists consider how to uphold ethical standards while working with colleagues in other departments to develop new products and produce new revenue streams.

The seminar will not be lecture, but a discussion of possible challenges and what to consider in applying your ethical standards to the situations that digital journalism will present. Sessions will cover:

* Journalism and social networks.
* User-generated content.
* Blogging.
* Visual journalism in the digital age.
