    Working as a Journalist in 2020: What Will It Take? A Round Table Discussion

    November 18, 2014 - By Lindsay Hanna

    Moderator: Gene Allen Participants:             Derek Chezzi, Editor-in-Chief, Yahoo Canada Steve Ladurantaye, Twitter Canada Jonathan Whitten, Executive Director of news content, CBC News It’s no longer news to anyone that journalism is facing a crisis; nor is it news that this presents opportunities for those who are willing to reimagine what journalism is, or might be.

    November 18, 2014 - By Lindsay Hanna

    Gavin Adamson                                                 Introduction This study is inspired by the results of an experimental approach to reporting live in a student newsroom. On 16 November 2012, two fourth-year undergraduate students at Ryerson University’s School of Journalism ventured to the University of Toronto to cover a men’s rights activist’s speech. There they would produce, by some measures, the most successful editorial content published by ryersonian.ca (Lagerquist 2013) to date. The reporters arrived at the scene with notebooks but also with smartphones. They were reporting in a live blog, a relatively new platform that digital newsrooms have used for breaking news events (Buttry…
