John Fisher Zeidman Memorial Colloquium
The annual John Fisher Zeidman Colloquium on Politics and the Press at Duke University was established by Philip and Nancy Zeidman (photo left) in memory of their son. John Zeidman, a Duke student, died in 1982 after contracting viral encephalitis while studying in China. The Zeidman Colloquium celebrates John's passion for examining the interaction of politics and the press.
The 2008 Zeidman Memorial Colloquium will be held this year on Saturday, November 15, 2008, at 1:00 p.m. in the Fleishman Commons at the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy.
This year’s panel will discuss media coverage of the 2008 presidential election campaign. Panelists: Garrett Graff, Editor at the Washingtonian and founding editor of mediaBistro.com's Fishbowl D.C.; Ruth Marcus, an editorial writer and columnist for The Washington Post, specializing in American politics, campaign finance, and the federal budget and taxes; Mark Shields, a political commentator on CNN's "Capital Gang" as well as many other TV and print venues; and Jeff Zeleny, a New York Times correspondent currently covering Barack Obama on the campaign trail.
