Here's A Way To Carr-pe Diem

As bloggers (and Tweeters!) and people who hope to one day be employed, we will most definitely be checking out a talk about "New Media's Impact on Non-Political Journalism" tonight, given by New York Times columnist David Carr. You should too, because new media is exciting, there will be free food, and most importantly, this guy is really awesome! We'll let the press release prove it:

David Carr writes a column for the Monday Business section of The New York Times which focuses on media issues including print, digital, film, radio and television. He also writes for the Media Decoder blog, a showcase for The Times’s extensive media coverage and a window on how the business of connecting with consumers is changing in the digital age. During awards season he writes a daily blog called The Carpetbagger about the Oscars. In addition, he appears in weekly videos that put a New York spin on the red carpet season.
