June 18-19 Stanford University, Palo Alto www.futureoffreelancing.com Independent journalists are taking on a more vital and visible role in informing the public and reinvigorating the profession. The Future of Freelancing conference helps experienced journalists explore their evolving careers and stay inspired to do their best work. Speakers include assigning editors from traditional magazines, including The New Yorker Esquire, the Washington Post and Wired, as well as from new digital outlets, like AOL's Patch.com, the Bay Area News Project, the Center for Investigative Journalism, and more. The keynote speaker, David Granger, editor in chief of Esquire, will talk about the future of magazines, and what that future means for writers. The first 40 writers to register will qualify for a one-on-one meeting with an editor, assigned on a first-come, first serve basis. Registration opens April 9 for ASJA members and current or former Knight fellows; April 16 for the general public. Note from E.W. I know that what you really wanted was a one-on-one audience with the Pope. Sorry, no can do, so meetings with editors will have to suffice.
