 “Technology, News and Distraction: What Does it All Mean?”\nat 2014 
 Mensch Society Lecture on Thursday, Feb. 6\n \n \nDave Pell, author of the 
 NextDraft daily e-newsletter, and Phil Bronstein, executive chair of the 
 board for the Center for Investigative Reporting, will discuss 
 “Technology, News and Distraction: What Does it All Mean?” on Thursday, 
 Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center of the East Bay, 1414 
 Walnut St., Berkeley.\n \nThe presentation on technology and its impact on 
 our daily lives is the JCC East Bay’s 2014 Mensch Society Lecture. The 
 Mensch Society comprises donors to JCC East Bay.\n \nNextDraft is a curated 
 daily e-mail featuring Pell’s humorous take on the day’s news. A Bay 
 Area resident, Pell describes himself as “a curation savant. Each morning 
 I visit about 50 news sites and from that swirling nightmare of information 
 quicksand, I pluck the top 10 most fascinating items of the day, which I 
 deliver with a fast, pithy wit.” Pell is the son of Holocaust survivors, 
 and brings his Jewish upbringing and perspective to his witty and poignant 
 analysis.\n \nWriter Alex Wright, former director of user experience and 
 product research at The New York Times, calls NextDraft “smart, 
 insightful commentary with just the right dose of snark. Day in and day 
 out, Dave delivers.”\n \nBronstein, before working at the Center for 
 Investigative Reporting in Berkeley, served as senior ice president and 
 executive editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and was nominated as a 
 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his work as a reporter.\n \nThe 
 conversation will be followed by a dessert reception. Tickets for the 
 evening are $15 general admission and $12 for Mensch Society donors, JCC 
 East Bay members, seniors and students. To buy tickets, visit
