Remember the days when there were three or four newspapers in every American city? When 30 million people watched Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News each night? Since then, thousands of newspapers have disappeared, five million viewers are a lot for the CBS Evening News, and an explosion of news sources now leave many confused about what information to trust. In this upended landscape of news, what has been lost? What has been gained? What are the primary causes of all this upheaval? And where is it all going? David Gumpert and Dotty Brown will take you inside the changes they witnessed during their 50-year careers, along with other insights from their Columbia Journalism School classmates who last year wrote the book Inside the Upheaval of Journalism: Reporters Look Back on 50 Years of Covering the News.

In advance of the presentation, participants will be encouraged to review chapters from Inside the Upheaval of Journalism. Participants should also be prepared with questions and comments about the factors primarily responsible for triggering the media upheaval.
