Personal Democracy Forum 2008

Session: Reinventing political media (the rise of semi-pro journalism?)
Description
You don't need a license to practice journalism, and more and more non-professionals are making news. In the process, gatekeepers are disappearing and a much more vibrant and messy public discourse is emerging. What does all this mean for political media? This panel of expert practitioners will cover everything from the rise of "citizen journalism" and "pro-am" collaboration, to how this changes the nature of journalism itself, to the shifting role of the pundit, to whether all this new media participation is also affecting the political narrative.
Moderated by Brian Lehrer
