Jan. 9th from 11:30 pm – 1:00 pm
Douglas Ray will discuss the rise and fall of community newspapers and consider the path forward for the Fourth Estate. His career tracked the corporate consolidation of print journalism, saw its salad days and secured a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news coverage, but also the great unwinding. Now leading a communications team at the University of Florida, Ray remains cautiously optimistic for community journalism as new models emerge.
