About this event

Journalism and media are changing in ways we can’t predict and often find uncomfortable. Balancing biases, rooting out mis/disinformation, and slogging through a never-ending news cycle is overwhelming, especially with the internet’s infinite information. But change isn’t always bad. If the newspaper was the pinnacle of the last great information age, where is journalism headed today? How do we navigate available content and our responsibilities as readers? And how do we use all that information to do something besides be overwhelmed?

This conversation brings together Mike Pride, former editor of the Concord Monitor and Pulitzer Prize committee member, and Daniela Allee, senior news editor at NHPR, to provide background for the current state of news media, and ideas about how it might change, including for the better. Together with our moderator, Dr. Kimberly Lauffer of Keene State College, we’ll look to the history of journalism to help make sense of what is “news” today.

He has written or co-authored eight books. The latest, just published, is No Place for a Woman: Harriet Dame’s Civil War, the biography of a New Hampshire woman who served more than four years at the front.

Lauffer earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Michigan State University and a doctorate at the University of Florida. Her research focuses on media coverage of end-of-life issues, framing of health, diverse individuals, juveniles and crime, and journalism pedagogy, and she has published many peer-reviewed articles in journals, as well as a peer-reviewed book chapter.
