I’m really curious about this since I just moved back to Durham from Seattle, where we lost one of our daily newspapers (the Seattle Post-Intelligencer).

“My Rise and Fall: Roger Hodge on the State of Magazines”
Center for Documentary Studies Auditorium
Roger Hodge, until recently the editor of Harper’s Magazine, will discuss the prospects of long-form journalism into the future as he recounts his experiences working with writers and offers his perspectives on the shifting landscape in the publishing industry.

Hodge began his journalism career as a freelance writer in 1989. After a lengthy detour through the thickets of academic philosophy, Hodge was hired by Harper’s Magazine as a fact checker in 1996. He joined the magazine’s acclaimed Readings section in 1997 and edited the section from 1999 to 2003.

I’m curious what Hodge will say, especially in light of the fact that the Independent Weekly has changed drastically since 1999, when it seemed to have more gravitas. Can anybody tell me what happened?

Who’s going? I am.
