Obama Youthquake: One Year Later
VideoNation : One year after young voters and organizers helped propel President Obama to victory, are "Obama's youth" still active?
This week, Nick Penniman, executive director of the Huffington Post Investigative Fund and the founder and director of The American News Project, speaks at the 2009 Nation/Campus Progress Student Journalism Conference about the impending chaotic media landscape. Penniman predicts that in ten years major media outlets won't dominate the conversation and instead smaller, independent outlets will have more of a voice. Unfortunately, this positive step will be matched with an even greater influx of gossipy, fluff content as opposed to in-depth, thoughtful reporting.
