Just got back from the California First Amendment Coalition event at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, where I met Milo Radulovich (pictured above), who rose to fame in the 1950s after Edward R. Murrow called out Joseph McCarthy. Radulovich’s story was the centerpiece of the 2005 George Clooney film “Good Night, and Good Luck.”
Also met Daniel Ellsberg, who authored and released the Pentagon Papers — about 30 years after the last time I met him at Rutgers.
Here are nine photos from the event.
Participated on the panel “Blogging and Citizen Journalism” with Daniel Weintraub, Lisa Stone, Kevin Bankston and moderator Dan Gillmor, talking about the rise of participatory media.
JD Lasica, founder of Inside Social Media, is also a fiction author and the co-founder of the cruise discovery engine Cruiseable. See his About page, contact JD or follow him on Twitter.
I was reminded of the event at UC Berkeley today (5.3.12) when I showed the film “Good Night, and Good Luck” to my Mass Media and Society class at Laney College, Oakland, California. My students, although of the social media always-connected generation, were impressed by the film and gave rave reviews. I recall meeting Mr. Radulovich and was honored that he signed my program.
Regards,
Burt Dragin
