Lunch and Keynote Speaker

Notes

All ad revenue for news sites (even online) is going down.

Organizations are shedding staff and cutting costs.

Partnership models are changing:

  • Historical competitors
  • Educational institutions
  • Nonprofits and News Exchanges
  • Citizens and Activists
  • Government

Implications for media leaders:

  • Still need to manage legacy brand
  • Do what you do best and link to the rest
  • PAC model – Produce, Aggregate, Curate

Implications for scholars

  • Mind the gap:
  • Impact on local journalism
  • Shifting ethical standards
  • What becomes of PSB (public broadcasting) with increased commercial and citizen involvement.

Implications for Educators

  • How do we teach “citizen journalists”
  • Teaching to aggregate and curate
  • How do we help professionals adapt?
