Description:
Have blogs replaced newspapers and should we care? An expert panel discusses the pros and cons of instant news in an event sponsored by the USC Information Services Division, USC Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities, and the USC Annenberg School for Communication. As newspapers scurry for readers and advertisers, more and more bloggers deliver gossip, news and commentary faster, cheaper and more efficiently. The debate is that, while bloggers respond more nimbly than traditional news-gathering institutions, they do so by sacrificing objectivity, accuracy and reliability. Speaker(s):
Martin Kaplan, associate dean, USC Annenberg School
Kevin Drum, writer, Washington Monthly
writer and novelist
Keven Roderick, author and journalist, LA Observed
