International Broadcasting and Public Media - Intro and Session 1

In an increasingly digital media landscape, people across the globe are relating to their news outlets in new ways. The missions of media producers are changing, as technological innovations reshape news networks into communities. The assumption is that U.S. public media institutions and international broadcasters are also transforming themselves to serve the emerging public interests in media. How should these institutions be changing to meet the needs of audiences that expect to engage in news and information, not just passively receive it? And even amid the current explosion of information, it is clear that there are information gaps. Is foreign coverage one of them?

The event will begin with a conversation between Lee Bollinger, President of Columbia University and Susan Glasser, Editor-in-Chief of Foreign Policy Magazine. Please join us as we explore these issues with an eye to the future of public service media both domestically and with respect to the international broadcasting arena.

It is refreshing to hear people with an intellect speak on this topic. Having spent nearly 4 decades in the media there is a link not discussed in this session. In order to have more journalistic integrity we need to spend far more money in education. When I began my career we would write for a grade 10-11 student. What we are hearing for the most part today relates to a person with less than 6 years in school. We see comments quoting Bart Simpson and to me that says it all.
