Journalism: Media Perspectives of a Global Generation

Wednesday, April 5, 6:00 p.m., $8. Webcast and online
discussion at www.online.newschool.edu. Students free.

Location: Theresa Lang Community and Student Center,
55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor.

As the news industry faces unprecedented change, this
panel explores how 21st-century technology and human
migration complicate and enrich the media landscape.
Journalism’s future is seen through three key
questions: How will the generation gap between print
traditionalists and new media pioneers play out in the
future of worldwide news collection, distribution, and
consumption? Why does the shrinking distance between
the “local” and the “global” require more
cross-cultural insight in U.S. newsrooms? What happens
in a world where news and commentary are regularly
unhinged from fixed locales, where one can read,
listen to, or watch media from any part of the world
while in any part of the world? A panel of journalists
from mainstream, ethnic, and international outlets
discusses how answers to these questions influence
story ideas, news content, reportorial and editorial
worldviews, and audiences.

Moderated by Corey Takahashi, freelance journalist
(Newsday, VIBE, Public Radio International); guest
journalists: blogger, reporter, and journalism
instructor Doug McGill (The McGill Report, The
Glocalist, former staff reporter for The New York
Times, and former Tokyo, London, and Hong Kong bureau
chief for Bloomberg News); Teru Kuwayama, documentary
photographer whose recent work has focused on Asia and
the Middle East (Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Outside);
journalist Anupreeta Das (The Christian Science
Monitor, former New Delhi-based staff writer for the
national Indian publications Outlook magazine and The
Indian Express). Co-sponsored by the Wolfson Center
for National Affairs and the Department of Media
Studies and Film.
