Robert Cottrell of The Economist

The Death of Journalism?: The War Between the New and the Old


WORKSHOP 1 (of 3): THE SUPPLY SIDE
What (if anything) distinguishes a professional journalist from his amateur rivals in an age of blogs and citizen news? What is his economic value, when most information is available for nothing? What is accuracy worth, and to whom? How many newsrooms will exist in five or ten years' time, and how many jobs for dedicated journalists? Who still wants to do such a job, and why?

Robert Cottrell is deputy editor of Economist.com, the online arm of The Economist. He was previously a foreign correspondent in Asia and Europe, for The Economist and the Financial Times. He also writes regularly for The Spectator of London, and for the New York Review of Books.
