If you're interested in the future of media, today's FORA.tv coverage delivers a rich mix of events.
Rupert Murdoch defends FOX News on a video from one of our newest partners, Georgetown University. The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof explains his coverage of Darfur from one of my favorite partner venues, the New York Publc Library. Paul Holdengraber, the Library's director of public programs, is one of New York's great impresarios. Every program is an Event, with the highest intellectual standards combined with a great sense of theatre and showmanship. Our coverage of their Christopher Hitchens - Al Sharpton smackdown on religion and politics, moderated by Slate's Jacob Weisberg, has been viewed by over a half million visitors. Check out Paul's intro on that video, replete with a James Brown backdrop.
And our self-proclaimed cub reporter, Technorati's Peter Hirshberg, continues with his backstage interviews at the Aspen Ideas Festival with Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal and Arianna Huffington. A new slate of interviews can be seen on his MyFORA page. A great companion piece from the Festival is Media and the Campaign, with the Colbert Report's Emily Lazar, journalist Howard Fineman, Atlantic editor James Bennet, Washington Post editorialist Jonathan Capehart, Newshour's Terence Smith, Huffington Post's Arianna Huffington, and Slate's Jacob Weisberg.
