Conversations From Main Street Presents:

Evolution of the News Media

Series Sponsored by

Thursday, February 25, 2010   7:30 PM

The way the world gets news and information is changing far faster than we expected a mere two years ago. Iranian protestors and Haitian quake survivors communicate on Twitter. Cell phones and FlipCams held by “citizen journalists” get the pictures out. The advertising model that once supported extensive staffs of reporters, editors and photographers is collapsing in not-so-slow motion. Traditional newspapers are firing their photographers and using freelancers instead. More and more print newspapers, such as Newsday, and now The New York Times, are trying to entrench themselves behind online pay-walls in an attempt to earn income and save circulation.  Meanwhile, Americans are absorbing information from a welter of websites of wildly varying accuracy and even-handedness. Don’t believe people who say they know how this is going to end up. They don’t.


But the work is still going on, with its workers peering into the dim future while going about their rapidly changing business.


On Feb. 25, we will hear from a traditional journalist at Newsday who straddles the worlds of print and the web; a journalist on Patch.com, a brand-new, “hyperlocal” website that covers Port Washington; and a Hofstra University scholar who has been watching the phenomenon from slightly off to the side. Moderated by Peter Goodman.
