WHITHER PRINT?

Tues Oct 13, 7.30p.m.
Bread & Roses Cafe, Sky Dragon Centre.
27 King William Street.
If newspapers are dying, where do the next Charles Dickens-es come from? And is it just the newspaper, or are all forms of printed text in danger of extinction or, at best, ghetto-ization? Our guest host Jeff Mahoney has been a writer/reporter/columnist with The Hamilton Spectator for 21 years. He has done a number of jobs from visual arts writer and reviewer to humour columnist. Jeff also teaches an English course at Brock University in St. Catharines, called Reporting And Writing For The Mass Media. He was born and raised in Montreal and lives in Hamilton with his wife and two children.
