Downsizing continues to be the operative word in the world of mainstream news media. Recently, ABC News and BBC announced significant budget cuts. Even in the age of television, newspapers largely defined what was newsworthy and provided the foundation for American journalism, but reliance on the printed word is giving way to the digital age with unclear implications for what will be gained and what will be lost. This week on dialogue, host John Milewski is joined by Jamie Stiehm and Marvin Kalb to discuss the changing world of journalism. Scheduled for broadcast starting March 17th, 2010 on MHz Worldview Channel.
