The Editor’s Weblog is publishing impressive interviews with an lengthy list of newspaper editors about the future of journalism. Issues discussed include the impact of the digital revolution on journalism, the rise of reader participation in news coverage and the question whether print newspapers are likely to survive until after 2014.
Among the editors interviewed are
- The New York Times - Jonathan Landman (US)
- Financial Times (UK)
- Washington Post - Jim Brady (US)
- Globe & Mail - Ed Greenspon (Canada)
- Gazeta Wyborcza - Jaroslaw Kurski (Poland)
- The Hindustan Times - Pankaj Paul (India)
- The Age / Fairfax - Mike van Niekerk (Australia)
- The Nation - Pana Janviroj (Thailand)
- Punch (Nigeria)
- Gulf News - Abdul Hamid Ahmad (UAE)
It is hard to determine the trends without generalising to the beyonds and that is why I recommend you read the interviews separately. They provide key insights from the myth busters who themselves are increasingly misunderstood.
