Breaking News: Disrupting the Status Quo in Storytelling
In a society where 39 of the top 50 digital news
websites have the most traffic coming from cell phones and
tablets, have we reached a new mobile majority in media? Are the tried models
of advertising and circulation targets enough to sustain media’s print
gatekeepers? What will be the new business models that sustain great
journalism?
The state of journalism has reached
a critical point of transition and transformation. Much is at stake.
Americans’ changing news habits
impact how our country functions as an informed society, and the next steps in
media are as important as ever in shaping the future of our democracy.
Join New America NYC and the GroundTruth Project for a panel with top
experts across the vast fields of media and journalism for a conversation about
what it takes to produce and support great journalism.
