Print at its birth was as disruptive as the digital migration of today. Now, as the internet ushers us past print culture, renowned US journalist and author, Jeff Jarvis, offers important lessons from the era we leave behind.

Jeff Jarvis blogs about media and news at Buzzmachine.com and cohosts the podcast This Week in Google. He is the Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation and director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. His most recent publication is: The Gutenberg Parenthesis: The Age of Print and Its Lessons for the Age of the Internet.

Alan Rusbridger is a Pulitzer prize-winning editor and prime mover in the fast-changing digital revolution from both the news and news management perspectives. He is the editor of Prospect, former editor of the Guardian, Chair of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism and a member of the Facebook Oversight Board. Alan transformed the Guardian from black-and-white print to a multimedia, online, round-the-clock powerhouse.

This event is sponsored by the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and will be recorded.
