2.You Can’t Record This, Take a Picture of That, and What Else?
Today almost everyone has a video camera in their pocket and in many cities local government uses cameras to monitor our streets. In our technology centered world the rules that govern citizens’ and journalists’ right to film, photograph and record audio are being challenged and constantly changing. These changes underscore the need for journalism and how fragile the protection the 1st Amendment provides.
This panel will bring together journalists, lawyers and public officials in an engaging discussion of the current political climate and the ongoing fights for free speech. This issue has many ethical consequences for the future of journalism and the role of seasoned journalists and citizen journalists and promises to be a thought provoking event. This event is sponsored by The McCormick Foundation and The Chicago Headline Club.

- Garry F. McCarthy, Superintendent, Chicago Police Department – Lucy Dalglish, Executive Director, Reporters Committee for Freedom of
the Press – Harry Grossman, Legal Director, ACLU Illinois
