Future of Journalism
summary
Panelists argue concrete shifts: a paid model with an ugly paywall supports about 2 million circulation and funds longform scoops; a small progressive weekly grows by selling print and building a community platform rather than chasing web ad dollars; a tech vertical (WSJD) launches with 20 reporters inside a group of 1,800 journalists; mobile now drives >33% of visits; native advertising is tested cautiously; foundations emerge as a last-resort funding route like ProPublica.
