My name is Matt Durning and I am writing from Al Jazeera English, here in D.C., to invite you to join us for 'Changing Channels”, a special half hour program Al Jazeera English is taping on June 25th at 12:30 at the Newseum in Washington, DC.

This town hall meeting is taking place just days before AJE makes its debut on the television airwaves in the United States. To mark the occasion, Al Jazeera English is holding a panel discussion on the media’s role in covering the United States from home and abroad, and the challenges faced by international news networks. Josh Rushing will moderate the panel featuring AJE’s Sir David Frost, analyst Marwan Bishara, host Ghida Fakhry and managing director Tony Burman.

You can RSVP by responding to this email or at rsvp-cc@aljazeera.net. The deadline for RSVPs is this Friday, June 19th and only the first 100 people to reply will receive invitations to this event.
