The Dire News About the News: Why Journalism is in Freefall, Why it Matters, and What Can Be Done
Dr. Marjorie Kruvand, Writing Program, UCSB    
Many people rely on the news to help illuminate and explain the events and issues going on around them. This is especially the case in a year in which Americans will elect a president. But the state of the news media in the United States has become increasingly precarious in the 21st century, and turbulent change is likely to accelerate during this decade. Professor Kruvand, a former journalist, will discuss the forces and trends that have combined to create a “perfect storm” threatening the future of American journalism and what our country and communities risk losing in the process.       

All programs take place in the multi-purpose room of the Goleta Valley Library.
They are free of charge and open to all. Space is limited.
Donations welcomed!
Please park in the upper lot of the Church of Christian Science, next door to the library. No RVs please.
