SUMMARY:Local News in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Is local news a casualty of the digital age?  A recent report from the Federal Communications Commission suggests that although the broad media landscape is more vibrant than ever\, many state and local communities face a shortage of professional reporting\, undermining journalism’s watchdog role at the local level.  This Forum will assess the state of local journalism\, paying special attention to the changing environment for news in New England. \nOur speakers\, drawn from traditional as well as online media\, include Callie Crossley\, host of her own talk show on WGBH; David Dahl\, who oversees local news initiatives for the Boston Globe; and Adam Gaffin of the online news site Universal Hub.  Dan Kennedy\, a media analyst who teaches at Northeastern University\, will moderate the discussion.
