[csaa-forum] Tuesday 19 August: THE CONVERSATION AND THE FUTURE OF JOURNALISM, FESTIVAL OF DEMOCRACY 2014

[Cesar Albarran Torres]

Sydney Democracy Network and Sydney Ideas present


 THE CONVERSATION AND THE FUTURE OF JOURNALISM


In the opening event of this year’s Festival of Democracy, Sydney Democracy Network is excited to host a public lecture by Editor and Co-founder of The Conversation, Andrew Jaspan. Launched at a time of major upheavals in mainstream media, The Conversation is a unique initiative: a world-first attempt to create a new type of internet-based collaboration between academics and journalists, a not-for-profit commitment to publish material with academic rigour and journalistic flair.


Andrew Jaspan will share his thoughts on the emerging role of The Conversation, the 21st century challenges it faces, and the long-term public-interest importance of open-access information. Andrew Jaspan’s presentation will be followed by comments from Peter Hartcher, Political Editor and International Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, and Dr Fiona Martin, a media and communications specialist at the University of Sydney.
