The Future of Digital Media
Listen
Hour 2
There have been some big changes on the digital news media landscape — AOL’s merger with The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast’s merger with Newsweek. This hour, we’ll talk about some of the online shakeups and what they say about how we want our news. We’ll also look at the future of social media and the changing state of journalism. Marty talks with KEN DOCTOR, media industry analyst for Newsonomics.com and SREE SREENIVASAN, professor of digital media at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
