Adapting Journalism to the New News Ecology January 31, 2009

Journalism's very survival -- at least its values and purpose -- depends on the ability of news organizations -- and citizens -- to adapt to a dramatically evolving landscape. Who -- what -- will emerge as the journalism leaders of the future if the legacy organizations fail to cross the chasm to the new news ecology?

Don't miss your chance to learn how and why newsrooms -- and the news sphere -- must change when The Poynter Institute and Journalism That Matters team up for "Adapting Journalism to the New News Ecology." Work sessions will be designed to define the new jobs, skills and relationships that will sustain a 21st-century news organization. Participants themselves will frame the critical discussions leading to our intended outcome -- new places, new roles -- and new support -- for the values and functions of journalism in a participatory democracy
