Economist Debate: This house believes the internet is making journalism better, not worse.

Coverage of the recent online debate on The Economist Online: http://econ.st/qANBGb

Like many other industries before it, the news industry is being disrupted by the internet. Among other things, technology is undermining the business models of newspapers: the news organisations that employ the most journalists and do the most in-depth reporting. At the same time, the internet enables new models of journalism by democratising the tools of publishing, allowing greater participation from readers and making possible entirely new kinds of organisation, such as WikiLeaks. Do the benefits of the internet to the news ecosystem outweigh the drawbacks? Jay Rosen and Nicholas Carr debate.
