Keynote speakers Steve Lopez 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Marquis Ballroom Columnist Steve Lopez (top right) joined the staff of the Los Angeles Times in 2001 after four years at Time Inc., where he wrote for Time, Sports Illustrated, Life and Entertainment Weekly. Prior to Time Inc., Lopez was a columnist at the Philadelphia Inquirer, the San Jose Mercury News and the Oakland Tribune. His work has won numerous national journalism awards for column writing and magazine reporting. Lopez has won more than a dozen national journalism awards and is in the National Society of Newspaper Columnists Hall of Fame. Lopez is the author of three novels and a book of nonfiction, “The Soloist: A Lost Dream, An Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music.” The 2008 book is based on columns Lopez wrote for The Times about his friendship with a downtown Los Angeles musician. A film version was released in 2009. Lisa Ling and Laura Ling 1 p.m. Friday, Marquis Ballroom Lisa Ling (center right) is the co- executive producer and host of “Our America” on the Oprah Winfrey Network. She is also a field correspondent for “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and contributor to ABC News’ “Nightline,” reporting from dozens of countries. She was the first female host of National Geographic’s flagship show “Explorer.” She got her start in journalism at age 21 as a correspondent for “Channel One News,” where she covered the civil war in Afghanistan. She later went to become a co-host of daytime TV’s “The View,” which won its first daytime Emmy during her time at the show. Laura Ling (bottom right) is the host and reporter on “E! Investigates,” a documentary series on the E! Network, which explores topics such as teen suicide and the challenges faced by military spouses. Prior to joining the E! Network Ling served as vice president of Current TV’s journalism department and created Current’s weekly investigative documentary series, “Vanguard.” Ling also worked as a correspondent, reporting on crucial issues from around the world. In March 2009, while reporting on the trafficking of North Korean women, Ling was detained by North Korean soldiers along the Chinese-North Korean border. She and colleague Euna Lee were arrested and held captive in North Korea for 140 days before being granted a special pardon and returning to the United States. Lisa and Laura Ling are co-authors of “Somewhere Inside: One Sister’s Captivity in North Korea and The Other’s Fight to Bring Her Home,” the story of Laura Ling’s capture by the North Koreans and the efforts of her sister, Lisa Ling, to secure Laura’s release by former President Bill Clinton. A book signing will follow their presentation. 8 JEA/NSPA
