NEW JOURNALISM?

ASSESSING A NEW LANDSCAPE IN JOURNALISM 
Project for Excellence in Journalism, July 18, 2011

As traditional newsrooms have shrunk, a group of institutions and funders motivated by
something other than profit are entering the journalism arena. This distinguishes them
from the commercial news institutions that dominated the 20th century, whose primary
sources of revenue -- advertising and circulation -- were self-evident.
Who are these new players in journalism? Are these sites delivering, as they generally
purport to be, independent and disinterested news reporting? Or are some of them more
political and ideological in their reporting? How can audiences assess this for
themselves? In short, what role are these operations playing in the changing ecosystem of
news?
