The Federal Trade Commission will hold two days of workshops free and open to the public, to explore how the Internet has affected journalism. The event is free and open to the public. The workshop will assemble representatives from print, online, broadcast and cable news organizations, academics, consumer advocates, bloggers, and other new media representatives.

All attendees will be required to display a current driver's license or other valid form of photo identification.

Pre-registration for this workshop is not required, but is encouraged so that we can estimate how many people will attend and what space to make available for media equipment. Pre-registration does not guarantee seating, which is provided on a first come, first served basis. Media should contact the Office of Public Affairs at 202-326-2180.

To pre-register, please email your name and affiliation to newsmediaworkshop@ftc.gov

NOTE: When you pre-register, we will collect your name, affiliation, and your email address. This information will be used to estimate how many people will attend. We may use your email address to contact you with information about the workshop.

Members of the public and press who wish to participate but who cannot attend can view a live Webcast via a link on this page on the day of the event.
