Op-Heads: Is The Newspaper Dead?

Its the paradox of new journalism — as print media enterprises cut jobs and close bureaus, their online offspring, offering free and up-to-the-minute content, thrive.

We asked two Pulitzer prizewinning newspeople, Tom Fiedler (COM'71), dean of the College of Communication and former executive editor of the Miami Herald, and Sacha Pfeiffer (MET'94), a health and science reporter for BU's NPR station, WBUR, and a former writer for the Boston Globe, to give us their take on the future of their business.
