Michael Massing Why Is Digital Journalism So Old and Boring? The Spring 2016 Donoho Colloquium 5 PM, Monday, May 9, 2016 Filene Auditorium, Moore Hall, Dartmouth Why Is Digital Journalism So Old & Boring? Digital technology, with its speed, versatility, interactivity, boundless capacity, and global reach, offers powerful new tools for delivering news and information, opinion and analysis. Yet news organizations have failed to take full advantage. For all the proliferation of sites and outlets, the hoped-for revolution in journalism has not occurred. Digital journalism needs to be reimagined—to become bolder and smarter. The coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign shows how much remains to be done.
