Sacramento Bee’s Rex Babin will be a panelist on a discussion of the now infamous Muhammad cartoon. Other panelists include journalists, lawyers and members of clergy. The event happens on April 24 on the campus of Reynolds School of Journalism.
The panel of journalists, lawyers and clergy will discuss the ethics of publishing potentially offensive materials, especially those related to religion. After a short presentation by the panelists, the floor will be opened to questions, discussion and debate. Using technology similar to the television show, ?Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,? audience members will also vote on about a dozen examples of unpublished controversial editorial cartoons from across the country, electing either to publish or not publish.
