Surviving the Pandemic: The Future of Local Media

As advertisers pull back and publications lay off or furlough journalists, how will the local news media survive the COVID-19 pandemic?

In Part II of an online series on news media during the public health crisis, experts will discuss news media challenges facing community journalism before and during the crisis and how the future will require more diverse and sustainable business models that don’t rely exclusively on advertising.

The panel includes:

Martin Reynolds, co-executive director of the Maynard Institute and director of the Reveal Investigative Fellowships from the Center for Investigative Reporting

Michael Stoll, executive director, San Francisco Public Press

The discussion will be moderated by Gina Baleria, assistant professor of communications & media studies at Sonoma State University, and host of the new podcast “News in Context,” that explores media bias and how information is delivered and consumed. It airs on KSFP 102.5 FM Fridays at 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

You must RSVP. Zoom details will be included in the “Additional Information” section in your confirmation email.

See you there!
