2006 Kenneth Owler Smith Symposium Draws Blue-Ribbon Panel

Political campaigns have been around since democracy was born and many credit them with establishing the roots of today’s public relations practice. On the heels of the mid-term elections, the 2006 Kenneth Owler Smith Symposium looks at the communications strategies utilized by California’s candidates to see which ones won the day…and which ones failed. It will be a fascinating look behind the scenes with top political analysts and communications experts.

Tuesday, September 19, 7:00 pm. Venue: USC Annenberg ASC 207

Tuesday, Cory Doctorow, USC's U.S.-Canada Fulbright scholar, year-long visiting professor, award-winning sci-fi writer and co-editor of boingboing.net hosts the next lecture in his Technology and Public Diplomacy speaker series. These talks are open to the public all semester long and Cory has a great list of speakers.

This series covers "Hollywood's secret war on your living room." As Elizabeth mentioned at the end of our last class, code is everything and this series focuses on how technology is restricted in the name of protecting copyright and other exclusive rights over knowledge goods. This is a fundamental issue to any online community and university.

Tuesday, Cory welcomes Michael Ayers, the Toshiba lawyer who negotiates their DRM deals for a discussion on digital rights management, copyright and new technology.

For anyone who wants a great overview to the issues of "Set-Top Control," I recommend listening to the MP3 of Cory's opening talk. I've already gone back and listened to it a second time. It's a wonderful introduction.
