To figure where journalism is heading, we need to push the conversation beyond the traditional ideas we hear recirculating everyday in the social media ecochamber. We need to connect the dots between the present and the future of media.

During this interactive one-day TEDx event, we will tap into the minds of influential thought leaders from the broadest sections of the media industry including David Carr, Sree Sreenivasan, Bill Adair, Elissa Nauful, Jessica Hopper and Burt Herman. They will inspire us with their stories and share their visions for the future of journalism.

Some questions we’ll answer throughout the day include:

What form(s) will journalism take in the future?
What can organizations outside of journalism teach us about the future of media?
How do we navigate some of the biggest challenges currently facing journalism?

Throughout the day, participants will collaborate with others at the event (and those following along virtually) to complete the sentence: “The future of journalism is …”

All talks will be live-streamed and recorded. Seating is limited to 100 people. A Tweetup will follow the event.

Who Will Benefit:
Journalists, bloggers, social media users and strategists, entrepreneurs.
