Calling all student journos
April 02, 2008
Next week, Encyclopaedia Britannica will hold on online forum about the future of newspapers and news. Called "Are Newspapers Doomed? (Do We Care?)," the forum will open on Monday, at the Britannica's blog, with an excerpt from my book The Big Switch in which I look at how the economics of journalism change when news moves from paper to the web. Other participants will include reporters Caryle Murphy and Charles M. Madigan, journalism professor Jay Rosen, and Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody.
Of particular note, Britannica is soliciting the participation of student journalists. If you write for a college paper and would like to be part of the discussion, shoot an email to the Britannica at this address: blogs [at] eb.com. You can find a few more details here.
