   PBMA 2008 Welcomes Judy Woodruff, Neal Shapiro

  The conference planning committee is excited to announce
  that both Judy Woodruff and Neal Shapiro will be
  speaking at PBMA 2008.
  

  Woodruff , well known as the senior correspondent for
  public television's The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, is the
  conference's keynote speaker.   Woodruff says,

  "The president campaign of 2008 is making this the most exciting
   election in modern American history. In Senator John McCain
   who rose from political death to capture the Republican
   nomination, and with the extended combat between Senators
   Clinton and Obama for the Democratic nomination, there have
   been an endless number of stories to tell the American people
   about who these candidates are, what they believe, and what
   sort of President they would become. All this has presented a
   huge challenge to the news media and, of course, to the
   NewsHour to decide which stories to tell and how."

  She will speak at a plenary session on Thursday morning.
  

  Shapiro became the president and CEO of Thirteen/WNET
  in February this year.  Before joining WNET in 2007, he
  was president of NBC News and executive producer of
  Dateline NBC.  Shapiro is an eloquent champion of public
  broadcasting's mission, both local and global.  He is hosting
  Wednesday's conference breakfast - don't miss it!
