Event Description:
The San Francisco Bay Area edition of the Associated Press Managing Editors Credibility Roundtable program will emphasize dialog between news producers and news readers, rather than ex cathedra pronouncements by the panelists.

The topic of discussion is press credibility, accountability and Election 2004 coverage. The intent is to spur a "community conversation" that will reaffirm the mission and standards of news media during this crucial time for American democracy; and that will strengthen the relationship between newsroom decision-makers and the active, engaged, conscientious audience.
