In a cultural environment where the line between news and entertainment has blurred, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has emerged as a place where serious political debate is open to irreverent but pointed interpretation. Writers from “the most trusted name in fake news” will discuss their unique brand of satiric news, how ideas are generated and turned into a script, and their opinions on the show being held up as “real” news.
Panel:
Daily Show with Jon Stewart writers
Rob Kutner, Chris Regan, Jason Reich
Additional panelists to be announced.

This year Michael Moore and the Swift Boat Veterans proved that there was a passionate audience for partisan documentaries. This Museum seminar will address whether the politically charged films that made headlines in 2004 have transformed the craft and mission of the documentary. Panelists will consider if filmmakers are now expected to bring a strong political viewpoint to a project before filming starts and to appeal to a specific audience. The long-term implications of the partisan documentary will also be examined, with executives and distributors discussing upcoming projects.
Panel:
Robert Drew, Primary
Eugene Jarecki, Why We Fight
Alexandra Pelosi, Journeys with George
Thom Powers, Guns and Mothers
Paul Stekler, Last Man Standing
Additional panelists to be announced.
Moderator:
Steve Rosenbaum, Pres./CEO, Magnify Media; Trustee, International Documentary Association
