David Domke: The Journalism Revolution Is Now
11/05/2009 at 8:00 p.m.
Journalism is a vastly different world these days. Print papers are closing. Blogs are dominating. But David Domke isn't crying. He says the public is actually now more engaged in news than ever before! Domke did a study with old and young news consumers. The young ones asked, "Why did you let only a few people decide the news for you?" The sixty–five plus group said, "how do you even know what is news?" The twenty–somethings responded, "at least we get to figure it out for ourselves." Domke is the chairman of the University of Washington's Department of Communications. He says the current health care debate, for example, is more dynamic and robust than ever. That's the way it ought to be. Basically: go ahead and rejoice! Our time is now.Domke's talk on October 13, 2009 was the first in a four–part series at Town Hall Seattle called, "The Revolution Is Here: How Digital Media and Awakened Citizens Are Changing the World." It's coproduced with the UW Department of Communications.
