| Summary: | A dozen prominent editors and practitioners of both traditional and new forms of journalism sat down with more than 150 professors, journalism students and deans from a dozen journalism schools at what Carnegie Corporation of New York and The Paley Center for Media billed as a Summit on Journalism in the Service of Democracy in New York City on January 8-9. They heard firsthand about the bind confronting both newspapers and the broadcast television networks as they lose readers, viewers and advertisers. But they also heard some surprisingly upbeat words about the talents, skill and enthusiasm that a younger generation is bringing to the profession, and even some praise for what is taught in the nation's leading journalism schools. The summit was a natural outgrowth of the evolving conversations about journalism education that are an intrinsic component of the six-year-old initiative, created by Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, to help give journalists a rigorous intellectual education as well as practical skills to do their jobs, and to give deans a platform to speak out on behalf of the profession and the role it plays in a democracy as the public's eyes and ears. - Publisher. |
