Evan Osnos of The New Yorker originally asked whether it was a coincidence that the ad appeared on the same day the search giant's struggle with Chinese censors was back in the headlines. James Fallows of the Atlantic responded by explaining that it was a coincidence and he described the ASNE connection to the unusual promotion.

First Amendment Summit

On Jan. 18, 2007, the American Society of Newspaper Editors convened an emergency summit of 100 newsroom leaders, national security experts, lawyers and others concerned about the compelled disclosure of confidential sources.

The gathering was held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The ASNE First Amendment Summit was made possible with the financial support of the McCormick Tribune Foundation. ASNE is also grateful for its partnership with The Poynter Institute in developing and producing this event.

We gathered these key video excerpts from the day.
