Journalism Dialogue Series

Where Journalism Can Take You 
“A journalism major?” some will ask. “What are you going to do, work at a newspaper or TV station?” 
Perhaps, and neither would be a bad choice. But here’s the thing: the skills of journalism reach far beyond reporting and editing the news. In this series, we will explore where journalism can take you, through discussions with Pulitizer-winning investigative reporters, industry-leading entrepreneurs, and multimedia storytellers focused on positive change in our communities.
Hosted and produced by the Department of Journalism at Emerson College, with support from the School of Communication and Alumni Association.
The Dialogues
Depth & Breadth
FEBRUARY 17, 5:00 P.M. EST
As traditional newsrooms and networks continue to evolve under various pressures, some journalists are creating new media platforms that use documentary-style, authentic storytelling to report on social and economic justice or, as is more often the case, injustice. In this conversation, we will explore how new media platforms can dive beneath the frontline news to investigate the deeper issues, and what that means for the future possibilities of investigative and transformative journalism.
