Stop Scrolling! Journalism, Objectivity, and the Future of News

Journalism and media are changing in ways we can’t predict and often find uncomfortable. Balancing biases, rooting out mis/disinformation, and slogging through a never-ending news cycle is overwhelming, especially with the internet’s infinite information. But change isn’t always bad. If the newspaper was the pinnacle of the last great information age, where is journalism headed today? How do we navigate available content and our responsibilities as readers? And how do we use all that information to do something besides be overwhelmed?

This conversation, moderated by Dr. Kimberly Lauffer of Keene State College, will bring together Mike Pride, historian, author, Pulitzer Prize administorator, and former editor of the Concord Monitor, and Daniela Allee, senior news editor at NH Public Radio. They will consider how the history of journalism can help us make sense of the “news” today, as well as the present and future state of news media.
