DESCRIPTION:The Commonwealth Club Silicon Valley Presents:     "Finding the News We 
 Need: In the Age of Spin" with      Martin Turner, Bureau Chief for the 
 Americas, BBC  Jim Sanders, News director, NBC 11  Andrea Kissack, 
 Producer, KQED Radio     Fifty years ago, news was the province of three 
 network newsrooms, a handful of radio broadcasters and established 
 newspapers and magazines.  Today, the advent of 500 cable and satellite 
 stations as well as hundreds if not thousands of Internet sites has 
 dramatically increased the quantity of news we receive but what has 
 happened to the quality?  Are we entering a new era of news producing and 
 consuming? Facts are facts but which facts are selected for presentation?  
 And how are they verified?  Does the consumer care about facts?  How should 
 the news industry respond to consumer needs in this vastly different media 
 landscape?     Tuesday, May 10, 2005     FREE - open to the public     6:45
