| '''The Evolving Media Ecosystem'''
| |
| The discussion of participatory media needs to go beyond comparing newspapers, political blogs and citizen media sites. Many kinds of social media, non-text formats, and public and other nonprofit media have demonstrated potential to play a role in the news and information environment. How do we take stock of the impact of this complex mix of sources and genres, including their use outside the U.S.?

| '''Defining Success, Measuring Impact'''
| |
| Dozens of experiments with audience-created content have failed; many are in limbo. Meanwhile, traditional media are re-examining their methods for demonstrating success to advertisers or sponsors. How should we define success for projects with different geographic or topical scopes, different target audiences? How much impact is enough? When are popular appeal or financial success not the right indicators?

| '''13:30 â 14:15 Itâs 2018: Do You Know Where Your News Is? -- Examining scenarios for the future'''
| |
|
| |
| One of the few areas of agreement among observers of the news environment is that there is much more change to come. There are challenges and opportunities for all involved and both start-ups and legacy media are unsure whether they will survive the next decade. Decisions made over the next decades could have enormous consquences for the breadth and quality of news coverage, depending on which niches thrive and which types of media don't survive. In this session weâll discuss a number of best-case and worst-case scenarios that illustrate possible outcomes over the next decade, with a particular focus on the accessibility, breadth and quality of news coverage.
