BLLA Discovery & Enrichment Series: "Trust Me, I'm a Journalist"

Journalism is in trouble: traditional business models have withered or collapsed, and the public’s trust has sunk to record lows. Social and political fragmentation, the rise of social media, and generational and technological change such as generative AI play a role, and the crisis threatens to erode a cornerstone of our democracy. Andrew Heyward, a nationally known news executive, award-winning broadcast news producer, and expert on the changing media landscape, will explore what went wrong and how it's possible to chart a path forward.
