Hi. I ponder the following three aspects of a Calling Question:
* What is the highest purpose of Journalism and the Journalist ? * What does it mean as Journalists to live our lives in accordance to that highest purpose ? * What higher purpose am I willing to commit to in my practice of Journalism ?

These are the people who decide what stories will be covered in our mainstream papers. There will be 300-500 people there. Originally, the subject was The Future of Journalism: its spirit and its business. Now everything has changed. We (the president of the association, an editor, a journalist and myself) are rethinking the theme of the summit in light of current events. As someone who is utterly unsatisfied with the coverage, I got involved with these folks to invite them into conversation about the purpose and practice of their work. I suspect they may be more ready for such a conversation because of the responsibility they feel during this time. Any thoughts on framing would be helpful. I talk again with the sponsoring group on Monday.
