Mitchell Stephens of the New York University School of Journalism organized a 100th birthday party for I.F. Stone, who was born on December 24, 1907. This party was held at NYU on March 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. at 20 Cooper Square on the 7th floor. The birthday party featured a panel and audience discussion following a short reception. The panel included: Don Guttenplan (who is finishing a biography of I.F. Stone that will appear in 2009); Robert Kaiser (former Managing Editor of the Washington Post); Myra MacPherson (biographer of I.F. Stone), and Peter Osnos (founder of PublicAffairs Books). Brief comments were made by Jeremy J. Stone (the elder son of I.F. Stone) and Robert Giles (curator of the Nieman Foundation).

The topic of the panel discussion was: “The Independent Journalism of I. F. Stone and Its Relevance Today.”
