Arts Journalism Summit

Speaking of the changing nature of arts journalism, there’s a summit about that very subject at USC on Friday, co-directed by Sasha Anawalt, the director of my Master’s program at SC’s Annenberg School (the mistress of my Master’s?). You can watch it live right here, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. PST.

Going Hollywood

There’s a music critics panel at the West Hollywood Book Fair Oct. 4, at 3 p.m., featuring Lorraine Ali, Ernest Hardy, Michelle Kort, Randall Grass, and myself, and moderated by Brian Rochlin. Expect talk about the changing nature of arts journalism. If that gets boring, go have Leiber and Stoller sign their autobiography for you.
