The New York Daily News is hosting a series of public events focused on “the changing new media landscape.” Editor-in-chief Jim Rich will be among panelists Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. at 11 Times Square.
The event is called, “The Evolving Newsroom: Journalists as Strategists.”
Other panelists are Jay Rosen, professor of journalism at New York University; Priya Ganapati, director of platform products, Quartz, and Kate Ward, editor-in-chief, Bustle.
Each of the evening “Conversations” will present “individuals from the most respected news organizations, the newest disruptive publishers, and tech and media thought leaders.”
Said the News: “As media companies increase their focus on business models, economic realities are affecting the way journalists work. Instead of a strict separation of between the ‘business’ side and the ‘editorial’ side, journalists are being asked how they create value for the company that can be monetized, while still meeting their responsibilities to public service and truth telling.
“How do editorial leaders educate and motivate a staff of journalists that has traditionally been insulated from economic concerns? And, as newsrooms undergo this shift in culture, what are the editorial consequences?”
Cost is $15 plus $1.82 tax. Registration is via this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/conversations-the-evolving-newsroom-journalists-as-strategists-tickets-26847909821
