George Gerbner, former dean at the Annenberg School of Communication, died on Christmas Eve. I remember him from a project I did with he and Todd Gitling back in 1997. i was producer of one of HotWired's sites, called Synapse. We had a feature there called "Brain Tennis" in which two leading thinkers would debate an issue of the day. I put Gerbner and Todd Gitlin together for one entitled "Is Media Violence Free Speech?" In his memory, I thought people might enjoy revisiting it. He was a giant of media crit, and the world will miss him.
Brain Tennis: Is Media Violence Free Speech? with George Gerbner and Todd Gitlin. July 9, 1997.

it's so sad when good people leave us... couldn't understand before how people could post such news and what's more, comment on it... now I realize, that what's most important is the good memory that remains forever. and memory must be supplied by the words of those who still remembers.
