It's been ten years since the 2008 financial crisis shook Wall Street. The economic, social and political consequences continue to shape our world today, but how much has really changed since then? Could the events of 2008 someday repeat themselves? And what are the big stories journalists should be covering to spot signs of the next crisis before it boils over?
Join members of the New York Financial Writers' Association and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY on Monday, Oct. 29 for an evening of discussion and reflection on the 2008 financial crisis. The panel discussion, entitled "The Financial Crisis Turns Ten: The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same" will feature a panel of reporters and editors who covered the crisis and its aftermath, which will be moderated by Cezary Podkul:
Cezary Podkul is a senior reporter at the Wall Street Journal, where he pursues investigative projects with a focus on Wall Street. He previously wrote for ProPublica and Reuters.
The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception featuring drinks and appetizers, followed by the panel discussion starting at 7 p.m. This event is only open to NYFWA members in good standing for 2018. Guests are welcome to attend for $15, which must be paid in advance here.
RSVPs are MANDATORY, as you cannot get into the building if your name is not on the list. Send RSVPs to contact@nyfwa.org
When: Monday, Oct. 29, 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Where: Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, 219 West 40th Street.
