“The Future of Journalism: News or Entertainment?”
Newspapers in peril, journalists laid off, ethical standards challenged, and the economic basis of mainstream journalism collapsing. Is the future of good journalism a new hybrid of entertainment and news to adapt to the media revolution and new consumers of media?
