The Center for Journalism Ethics will host a forum on the future of journalism for UW alumni in Seattle on Nov. 12, 2009.
Center Director Stephen J. A. Ward will lead an interactive session on the challenges facing news media in a rapidly changing economic and technological climate. The discussion will focus on how ethical standards can be maintained and whether new models for funding journalism might be a way forward.
The forum is the latest in a series of cross-country meetings to engage alumni in the discussion of journalism ethics and to increase their awareness of the center and its activities.
The event is sponsored by the Wisconsin Alumni Association, the University of Wisconsin Foundation, and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
