POST-INDUSTRIAL JOURNALISM:ADAPTING TO THE PRESENT
POST-INDUSTRIAL JOURNALISM:ADAPTING TO THE PRESENT

Summary/Abstract: The “future of news” is mostly already here – citizen preference for digital products and services for news is clear, and advertisers have followed. It now falls to news organizations to adapt to those often-wrenching changes. This paper provides an overview of the current state of journalism as a practice and as an industry; a section of analysis and recommendations for practicing journalists; another for news organizations; and another surveying the overall ecosystem. No simple answers are forthcoming. The fortunes of various news organizations, old and young, are uncertain; adapting to the present will turn that previously stable industry into a much more diverse collection of organizations, with differing methods, goals, and means of support.
