Honoring L.A. Journalism Legend Steven Mikulan - RSVP

 
 
There are editors, and then there is Steven Mikulan. Capital & Main's beloved founding editor-in-chief, who retired last May, is the quintessential L.A. journalist, with a career as sprawling as the metropolis he has covered. In nearly a decade at the helm of Capital & Main's newsroom, Steven did the impossible, building a team from the ground up and establishing both an editorial voice and a track record of powerful reporting on the most important issues shaping life in California and beyond.

Long before he took the reins at Capital & Main, Steven made his mark at the LA Weekly as that once-storied publication's redoubtable theater editor. In later years he wrote riveting pieces for LA Magazine on everything from celebrity rehab host Dr. Drew to mobster Whitey Bulger to B grade film star Yvette Vickers.

The throughline in this prolific output is excellence, along with a healthy dose of wit and a community of peers who revere him.

We are thrilled to be honoring Steven at this year's Exposés and hope you will join us on Apr. 21 as we celebrate his exemplary career.

Does The First Amendment Still Protect Free Speech?

From podcasts to protests, free speech is facing challenges the Founding Fathers probably didn't predict when they made the First Amendment the law of the land. Or did they? We've got a crackerjack panel trying to figure out if the digital world requires more limits on this fundamental American right. Join us in downtown L.A. for our first in-person event of 2022 on Thursday evening, with a food truck beforehand and complimentary drinks to follow.

A Zócalo/ASU Cronkite School Event

Moderated by Carla Hall, Editorial Writer, Los Angeles Times.
 
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is supposed to provide the world’s strongest protections of free speech and a free press. But you wouldn’t know that from reading the news. Legal scholars Jody David Armourof USC and Eugene Volokh of UCLA, attorney Jean-Paul Jassy, and Battinto L. Batts Jr., dean of the ASU Cronkite School, visit Zócalo to discuss how we might protect free expression while also protecting our society from the misuse of that freedom.
 
Bring your appetite! We have partnered with On the Go LA to bring the Gusina Saraba food truck right outside the venue—we encourage you to support a local food vendor.
