Coming to the Dark Side: A Panel Discussion

Join us December 16 as a panel of journalists-turned-public affairs officers reveals what they’ve learned in the often challenging and eye-opening transition from media to government.

Our guests will include:

• John Poirier, formerly of Reuters and now with the U.S. Office of Financial Research
• Rich McIntyre, former managing editor of The Calvert Independent and since with various state and federal agencies
• Rob Margetta, one-time editor of Congressional Quarterly who is and now with the National Science Foundation

They will share their perspective of coming over to the dark side (of Government) from the illuminating light (of journalism) and what their double-vision has taught them about how PAOs and PIOs can build better relations with local, regional, and national outlets.
