Journalism in 10: Nick Penniman on the Future of Media
VideoNation : Nick Penniman, executive director of the Huffington Post Investigative Fund talks about the impending chaotic media landscape.
This week, Nation contributor John Nichols speaks as part of a panel discussion at the 2009 Nation/Campus Progress Student Journalism Conference about the disconnect between old media models and a nonfunctional new media model for producing journalism. Nichols evokes history in noting that when our country was founded media was heavily subsidized by the government and proposes this as a model to strive for. Nichols is the co-author of The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution that Will Begin the World Again, along with Robert W. McChesney, published by Nation/Perseus/Basic Books this fall.
To share your opinion on what the future of the media might be, write a letter to the editor marked "Future of Journalism." We'll gather the best responses and publish them at the beginning of 2010.
