News morphs into a conversation between professional journalists and what some call “the former audience.” And citizen journalists challenge the mainstream media on their own turf. Considers how blogging and other forms of Web journalism are affecting what the traditional media choose to cover and how they present it. Offers an opportunity to meet leading experts and consider what career opportunities are likely to emerge for the next generation of journalists.
