DESCRIPTION:The California First Amendment Coalition's annual Free Speech and Open 
 Government Assembly, conducted this year in conjunction with the UC 
 Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, will be held Friday and Saturday, 
 Oct. 17 & 18, at the Journalism School campus in Berkeley. Although 
 admission is free, you need to register online to be assured of a 
 space.\n\nThe annual Free Speech and Open Government Assembly brings 
 together the best and brightest in law, journalism and public policy to 
 discuss leading First Amendment issues of the day. If you can attend just 
 one professional conference a year, this is  it.\n\nSpeakers this year 
 include acclaimed federal jurist Alex Kozinski, the controversial  appeals 
 court Chief Judge whose famously conservative views reflect a distinctly 
 libertarian approach to First Amendment freedoms. This year's program also 
 includes a showing of the new, award-winning documentary, "Secrecy," with a 
 discussion led by the film's director, Robb Moss.\n\nWe will also serve a 
 rich menu of discussion groups on topics ranging from international 
 censorship of the internet; to challenges to ethnic media's editorial 
 independence; to an assessment of the distinct, yet symbiotic, roles of new 
 and "mainstream" media in coverage of the Presidential elections. And much 
 more, including workshops, led by leading lawyers and journalists, on use 
 of FOI and free speech rights to unearth great news stories.\n
