An important conversation on the future of Journalism, hosted by Columbia Journalism Review and Columbia’s Lipman Center for Journalism and Civil and Human Rights.
A battle is underway for the future of journalism and how it’s practiced. The traditional, both-sides, neutral-toned model of reporting and objectivity, seen as a bulwark against a decline in media trust, is often pitted against a more muscular, outspoken journalism in response to a nation, and a profession, under siege. Newsrooms are divided as never before, often along generational and demographic lines, two camps hardened by the social-media echo chamber. Is it possible for the two sides to come together? To find a way to co-exist? To redefine what qualifies as great journalism?
