Keynote Speaker: Joe Raiola, Senior Editor, MAD Magazine

 

Joe Raiola will present his critically acclaimed program “The Joy of Censorship: A Provocative Program on the First Amendment and the History of MAD Magazine.” Raiola takes an illuminating, offbeat and at times disturbing look at America’s most hotly debated First Amendment issues, including the dramatic effect of Sept. 11 on free speech. He also sheds light on the endless arguments of the Patriot Act, Internet filters, flag burning, movie ratings, banned books, indecency and the true meaning of obscenity.
