Pulitzer Center Executive Director Jon Sawyer will moderate a Q&A session for the event, "International Broadcasting and Public Media: Mission and Innovation in the Digital Environment". Michael Meehan and Dana Perino, co-chairs for the Communications and Outreach Committee at BBG Communications will answer questions.
From the New American Foundation event listing:
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.
Th event will take place on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, from 1:00pm until 4:15pm, at the New America Foundation located on 1899 L Street NW Suite 400, Washington, DC. Find out more information about the event, and sign up here: http://www.newamerica.net/events/2010/intl_broadcasting_public_media
