Session supported by: Knight Science Journalism Fellowships

Summary: The pioneers of news organizations that have gone from traditional news format to news ways of delivering news will tell us how they did, what they did and what will come next. A number of different kinds of stories will be told: From the transformation of Scientific American from a stodgy print magazine to a multimedia news organization to the new effort to organize thousands of bloggers around the world and then to bring journalists to the bloggers as sources. The changing world of news will be described, from the booming blogs of China to the Guardian’s award winning website.
