“New Voices in the Media”
The world of media is in a constant state of change today. Journalists and would-be journalists are finding purpose and passion in new ways that reach beyond the legacy of a newspaper or television newsroom. While some media outlets are struggling to stay afloat, what’s rising from the ashes are new voices in the media and a wider platform for consumers of information. These new voices include bloggers, citizen journalists and innovative collaborations between the public and news entrepreneurs. Our keynote panel for ISHSPA 2009 will consist of those who are at the forefront of these explorations into the new world of journalism. The panel moderator will be Eric Meyer, Associate Professor of Journalism at the University of Illinois. Meyer is the author of "Tomorrow's News Today: A Guide to Strategic Planning for Online Publishing." He is a former news photo and graphics editor, assistant news editor and reporter for the Milwaukee Journal and the Bloomington Pantagraph.
