| IS PRINT JOURNALISM DOOMED? Should We Mourn or Celebrate? |
 |
|
Journalism faces
fundamental challenges in the digital era.
From the economic
viability of print media to its status
as a "trusted source" , this debate is
whether journalism, as we have known it, is
doomed and whether or not we should
care.

digital media veteran of MTV Networks,
Comcast, and @Home)

Institute)
Neil Sieling (New Media Fellow for the
Center
for Social Media at American University and
a founder and consultant for Link TV)
