Obviously I give the traditional fish wrap media a pretty hard time on here, but I imagine that even having biased newspapers is better than having no newspapers at all, and with the impending closure of the Seattle P-I and rumors of imminent bankruptcy at the Seattle Times, I think this forum will be a good opportunity to explore “what’s next” for the traditional style of journalism.<\/p>\n

Seattle Community Organizes February Event on the Future of Journalism<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

No News is Bad News is a community-sponsored event discussing the future of journalism in Seattle from 7-9pm.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On February 26, 2009, King County community members will gather in the Bertha Landes room at Seattle City Hall to discuss the state of the news industry and the future of journalism. The event, titled “No News is Bad News: Seattle As a No-Newspaper Town?” was conceived and planned by a group of local bloggers, journalists, and news employees.<\/p>\n

The event is free and open to everyone. Registration is currently open online<\/a> with two hundred seats available.<\/p>\n

“This is a real community effort,” said M\u00f3nica Guzm\u00e1n<\/a>, one of the event organizers. “It’s amazing how many people are concerned about the future of journalism. This event couldn’t happen without their interest, help, and support.”<\/p>\n

No News is Bad News will feature a panel of speakers, but the focus of the event is on listening to feedback from the community<\/a>. Attendees should arrive expecting to be part of a discussion where they can share their concerns and comments. Following the event, a summary of the proceedings will be published online and shared with the community.<\/p>\n

With newspapers beginning to fail as a result of both the internet and the current recession, bringing the state of news to the forefront of the community conversation is more important than ever. “Raising awareness of what’s happening to journalism in this city is one of our main goals,” said Dylan Wilbanks, another event organizer. “We don’t want people to wake up tomorrow and suddenly realize that nobody’s keeping an eye on Olympia anymore.”<\/p>\n

The panel features such prominent thinkers as Jay Rosen, professor of journalism at New York University, Kathy Gill from About.com and the University of Washington, and sports columnist Art Thiel from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.<\/p>\n
