December 4, 2002 SFSU will host a panel of national and international journalists for an in-depth dialogue on media and war from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday in Humanities building room 408. The event is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the SFSU student chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, the panel will consider the media's role in war, freedom of information and journalists' responsibilities.
