Future of News Workshop at Princeton
The
Center for Information
Technology Policy at Princeton University opened up its
exciting "Future of News" workshop, May 14-15, for PolicyNet
members to participate online.
The workshop focussed on how the Internet and its ability to distribute and manipulate information is transforming the news media. What's on offer, how it gets made, and how end users relate to it are all in flux. New tools and services allow people to be better informed and more instantly up to date than ever before, opening the door to an enhanced public life. But the same factors that make these developments possible are also undermining the institutional rationale and economic viability of traditional news outlets, leaving profound uncertainty about how the possibilities will play out.
The complete webcast of the workshop is now available at UChannel.
