9/11, ‘Deep Throat’ to be discussed Oct. 16 at Newhouse School as part of First Amendment year celebrationOctober 01, 2007Jaime Winne Alvarezjlwinne@syr.edu

On Tuesday, Oct. 16, Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications will host a book signing and conversation with David Friend, editor of creative development for Vanity Fair and author of the acclaimed book “Watching the World Change: The Stories Behind the Images of 9/11” (Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 2006). The book signing and conversation are free and open to the public. They are part of the school’s yearlong celebration of the First Amendment.

The book signing will take place at 4 p.m. in the Miron Room in Newhouse I. Copies of Friend’s book will be available for purchase. The conversation, “Watching the World Change: From 9/11 to Deep Throat,” hosted by Joel Kaplan, Newhouse associate dean of graduate studies, will take place at 7 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium in Newhouse III.

Discounted parking for both the book signing and the lecture is available in the University Avenue Garage. Patrons should alert the parking attendant that they are attending the Friend book signing and/or lecture. Patrons with special parking needs can contact Audrey Burian at the Newhouse School at (315) 443-1930 or aaburian@syr.edu.

Director of photography for Life magazine during the 1990s, Friend authored “Watching the World Change” in 2006. The book uncovers the stories behind images taken by photographers, workers, tourists and passersby whose lives changed dramatically when confronted with the sight of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Friend traces the images back to their sources and charts their impact over the seven days following 9/11, chronicling how we process disaster.

As an executive producer, Friend won Emmy and Peabody awards for the CBS documentary “9/11,” which has aired in more than 140 countries. As an editor at Vanity Fair, he broke the “Deep Throat” story in 2005, revealing that Mark Felt was Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein’s secret Watergate source. As a correspondent, he has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Lebanon and elsewhere. As a writer, Friend contributes frequently on photographic and news subjects to Vanity Fair, American Photo and The Digital Journalist. His articles and cartoons have appeared in The Washington Post, Discover, The Common Review and the online journal Salon. His poetry has appeared in The New Yorker.

Friend has conducted interviews with U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd, Israel’s Ariel Sharon and reclusive figures such as exiled Russian writer Aleksandr Solzenitsyn and photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. He helped secure exclusive photo sessions with a variety of subjects, including the victims of Chernobyl, White House intern Monica Lewinsky and President George W. Bush with his war council.
