Dodd to Make Pre-Oscar Appearance at National Press Club

MPAA chairman Chris Dodd will be the keynote speaker at the National Press Club's speakers luncheon on Feb. 15.

The MPAA notes that the appearance is just a week before the Oscars on Feb. 24. While the focus is on the impact of Hollywood on the American economy, there's a good chance that the issue of violence in the media will come up in the media forum.
