"The stakes in this  year's election have never been higher, and the public is watching and engaging with the media in ways we never could have imagined,” said Jonathan Klein, president of CNN/U.S. “Our challenge is to probe, analyze and present all the issues, while enabling our viewers and CNN.com users to participate actively with us in the process – and this event will play a vital role in addressing how we accomplish these goals."TIME Managing Editor Richard Stengel said: “In the most wide-open presidential election of our lifetime, the role of the media is more critical than it has ever been. At TIME, that responsibility is of paramount importance in all of our political coverage, from breaking news on The Page on TIME.com to our 24/7 coverage of the campaigns and political profiles in the magazine. This conference will provide an important forum to discuss the role the media plays in the first truly multimedia election and beyond.” "The Thought Leadership Policy Summit" Politics 2008 The Complete Agenda Monday, October 13th 12:30 PM - Welcome Jeffrey L.
