The vanishing newspaper

Today at 2:00 pm there will be a webcast for a Media Center discussion about the future of the newspaper sparked by Philip Meyer, Knight Chair in Journalism at the University of North Carolina who has recently wrote "The Vanishing Newspaper". The webcast panel will be led by Jeff Jarvis of Buzzmachine. The panel will discuss:
- Is journalism and its social service function still important?
- Where does the spirit and tradition of socially responsible journalism and a better-informed society manifest in new media forms?
- How can historic mass-media institutions adapt to and thrive in the age of We Media? What should be their role?
- What will the newspaper of the future look like as a business and as a product?
Good questions. I definitely wanna know and I will tune in...
