The Fall and Fall of Journalism - an LSE debate
Posted by Suw Charman
The London School of Economics has invited me to take part in a panel debate called The Fall and Fall of Journalism on Monday 28 February, at 6.30pm (tickets £8):
A panel of speakers will debate whether the traditional role of journalists is being usurped by simply anyone who has access to a digital camera, camcorder and the internet. This debate will explore the new phenomena of citizen reporting, blogging and other new technology/new media-enabled reporting.
I will be discussing the impact of blogging on journalism with Leslie Bunder, Editor, journalistic.co.uk; John Lloyd, Editor, Financial Times Magazine; and Professor Robin Mansell, Dixons Chair in New Media and the Internet, LSE.
This should be an interesting debate, which I am very much looking forward to. I've been keeping my eye on the discussions that have happened in the States, not least because I am both blogger and, occasionally, journalist so I can see things from both sides of the fence. Of course, the situation here in the UK is slightly different, because the nature of our media is slightly different, but I think the main premises stand.
So, if you're in the London area, do drop in and feel free to say hello afterwards!
