Creating a New Model for News and Information

October 29, 2009

Location:

Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz

10th Floor
New York City

There is a new media landscape. Social media is in, the future of print is in question and no one seems to know exactly what is happening to television. The Recession of 2009 accelerated trends that were already well underway, and the only thing that seems certain about the future of news and information is uncertainty. One of the major questions is, who will pay for the production and distribution of news and information. Enter the not-for-profits. One possibility that has not only come to be seen as viable but has also gained traction is the use of non-profits as news and information creators and distributors. This panel will take a look at the the innovations underfoot outside the for-profit media world.
