Debate Topics

IS PRINT JOURNALISM DOOMED?

Should We Mourn or Celebrate?

Journalism faces fundamental challenges in the digital era. From the economic viability of print media to its status as a "trusted source" , this debate is whether journalism, as we have known it, is doomed and whether or not we should care.
Ty Ahmad-Taylor (Founder of FanFeedr and digital media veteran of MTV Networks, Comcast, and @Home)
Errol Louis (Columnist, New York Daily News and radio talk show host WWRL 1600 AM)

STEAL THIS FILM:

Is The Only Place Indie Film Can Find Justice Outside The Law?

Content holders are suing their consumers, creating an environment where media users are are pitted against the content rights holders. The digital appropriation enabled by new technologies could be seen as a new era of media abundance rather than theft. But is this justice?
Brian Newman (former CEO of Tribeca Film Institute)
Neil Sieling (New Media Fellow for the Center for Social Media at American University and a founder and consultant for Link TV)
