Course Details

The web has turned us all into content creators, publishers, and influencers. Social media has created a new ecosystem for the distribution and consumption of information. But, there's a problem: that ecosystem is built on a foundation of free content. As ad revenue all but disappears, traditional news and online media organizations are feeling the pain of giving something away for free.

From micropayments to e-readers, no one knows what formula is going to secure the future of the news business, online media publications, or ultimately, the journalism profession itself. This panel discussion will bring together an esteemed group of professionals who have experienced firsthand the shift from traditional media organizations to online ventures, to talk about the transition and what tactics they are employing to stay in business.

Speakers include:


Joshua Benton (moderator) Founding Director, Nieman Lab at Harvard University - an effort to help the news business make the radical changes required by the internet age. @niemanlab	Robert Buderi Editor and Founder, Xconomy @xconomy	Laura Fitton Principal, Pistachio Consulting @pistachio	Robert Kempf VP Product & Technology, Boston.com @bostonupdate
