With papers going bankrupt and broadcasters cutting staff, there's a lot of uncertainty about the future of news media. Is print a thing of the past? Do bloggers improve or undermine the quality of reporting? What skills will aspiring student journalists need to stay keep up in this fast-paced world? If you're interested in getting involved in journalism, join us for a panel discussion featuring voices from academia, the news room and the blogosphere. Brought to you by The Ontarion Student Newspaper and thecannon.ca
