Journalism and Cyberspace
Thursdays, Nov. 5, Nov. 12
4-6 pm
Bartos Theater

How has American journalism been affected by digital technologies? What new skills are needed by reporters and editors assigned to cover the "cyber-beat"? How have traditional newspaper formats been altered or challenged by the World Wide Web? Do the Web and other aspects of the digital future threaten the very existence of newspapers in the long term?
