The Art Institute of California today confirmed a few additions to the lineup for tomorrow's "Meet the Press: Game Journalism Forum" event, to be held at the Institute's downtown San Francisco campus. Presented by students and faculty of the Insitute's Game Art & Design and Visual & Game Programming programs, the event will be hosted by a panel of long-time professionals in the fields of game coverage and criticism.

In addition to Electronic Gaming Monthly executive editor Mark MacDonald, Xbox Nation editor-in-chief Simon Cox, and Gamehelper.com CEO Joe Markert, the panel of professionals will also include 1UP news editor David Smith and GameSpot's Greg Kasavin.

Topics planned for discussion include the nuts and bolts of running game magazines and websites, the process of making games, major developments at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, and future trends in the games industry, including the growth of online gaming on PCs and consoles.

The panel will run from 6:00 to 8:30 PM this Friday, at 1170 Market Street near San Francisco's Civic Center (close to the Civic Center BART/Muni station). As mentioned above, the event is open to the public, but space will be limited, so come by early if you'd like to attend.
