For 25 years, Larry Brook has covered the Jewish communities of the South, writing about everything from Jewish community events to Christian Zionism to church-state issues to Southern Jewish history.

This session will include many anecdotes, as well as a discussion of how to properly and fairly cover a community where one is an active participant, the ethics of printing certain controversial stories, and the role of an independent media within the Jewish community.
