Rethinking Local Journalism in Scranton

Friday, 09 February, 2024

As Scranton's newspaper is taken over by a notorious hedge fund that is not known to invest in innovation, we will discuss alternative strategies for local information and civic engagement, brainstorming ways that the University might collaborate with the community to better inform local public discourse. There are many new models of journalism -- Engagement Journalism, Solutions Journalism, Reparative Journalism, and so on -- which can inform the discussion, along with examples of what is being done in other cities.

Jeff Jarvis, Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation and director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York, and creator and founding editor of Entertainment Weekly
