Over the past few months we’ve been exploring current disruptions and opportunities in American journalism by interviewing great minds about their thoughts on — and efforts in — a remarkably fluid and changing landscape. The video above introduces some of whom we’ve been talking to.
Following the FJP
Project Background
Our goal is to launch a Web site in early 2011 that houses these interviews so that those interested in the future of American news media have a deep resource through which they can explore changing newsrooms, business models, education and the stakes all this has on democracy itself.
Interested in Collaborating? We are Too.
A good place to start is joining us at our Tumblr blog at FutureJournalismProject.org. A few of us are posting there now. A few more would be great. If you’re passionate about the changing journalism landscape and want to join in, send us an email and tell us a bit about yourself.
We’re also looking for hacks and hackers of all stripes:
- iPad developers to co-create an app version of the Project;
- Designers multimedia developers to remix content and a create whole lot of awesome on the site;
- Editorial Contributors to expand our reach across the country (we’re based in New York City);
- Industry Partners such as bloggers, publications and organizations to help promote the Project to their communities;
- Your ideas on who we should interview in 2011 as we continue the Project.
Sponsorship Opportunities
