2nd International Symposium on Online Journalism

The 2001 symposium took a field trip into time to see how online journalism has developed and where it still has to go. How has the industry improved over the past 5 years? Are digital devices the answer to profitability for online journalism in the future? How do we prepare the journalists of tomorrow with the tools and resources to do online journalism? How do we teach new media? Join in the discussion and find out how the panelists approached these issues and concerns in the 2001 symposium archive.

Panelists Fred Zipp and John Pavlik
