Register Now!

June 26 , 2013

Location: Near Infinity Conference Center

1881 Campus Commons Drive, Suite 205, Reston, VA  20191

Moderator:

Mr. Shane Harris, The Washingtonian

Panelist:

Mr. Bill Harlow, Chief spokesman for the CIA from 1997-2004

Mr. Spencer Ackerman, (The Guardian) (invited)

NSA PAO (invited)

Mr. JJ Green, WTOP National Security Correspondent

Panel Background:

The media have a vested interest in informing the public about the activities of their government.  The Intelligence Community (IC) is bound by Executive Order to safeguard information from public disclosure to protect the sources and methods involved in intelligence collection and analysis, and maintain the security of the Nation.  This dynamic has caused friction between the media and the IC in the past and will likely continue in the age of new and emerging media.  Hear firsthand from our panel of professionals from the IC and the media about how they deal with the relationship to ensure both can accomplish their missions.  Learn what IC public affairs teams do to communicate with the public and what journalists that cover the IC do to keep the public informed.

 

Panel Questions:

  • How do you balance the public’s desire to know the details behind intelligence activities with the need to protect the details of those activities?
  • How are leaks handled as well as investigated by the Intelligence Community?
  • Major news networks have, at times, incorrectly reported information in social media.  How do the IC public affairs offices mitigate the risk of incorrect information being shared in social or traditional media?

The panel will be moderated by Shane Harris, Senior Writer at The Washingtonian.
