Evolution of Journalism
An open discussion about the business models, innovation, and power of community that are changing journalism
The web has turned us all into content creators, publishers, and influencers. Social media has created a new ecosystem for the distribution and consumption of information. But there’s a problem: that ecosystem is built on a foundation of free content. As ad revenue all but disappears, traditional news and online media organizations are feeling the financial pain of giving something away for free.
From micropayments to e-readers, no one knows what formula is going to secure the future of the news business, online media publications, or ultimately, the journalism profession itself. This panel discussion will bring together an esteemed group of professionals who have experienced firsthand the shift from traditional news & print organizations to online ventures, to talk about the transition and what tactics they are employing to stay in business.
Speakers include DC Magazine editor-in-chief Karen Sommer Shalett, executive producer of BBC World News America Rome Hartman, general manager of the Slate Group and publisher of Slate John Alderman, and senior political reporter for Politico Jonathan Martin.
