Papers from a conference organised by the BBC College of Journalism. _______________ This book is the result of a BBC College of Journalism conference held in London at the end of 2008. The Future of Journalism brought together journalists, editors, academics and commentators – from both inside the BBC and beyond – to debate current issues about journalism that arose in their daily work. Today, as technology changes the lives of both journalists and their customers, assumptions about what journalism is and how it is practiced are being re-examined. These papers, from speakers at the conference, may help others embrace the new opportunities without abandoning the best of the values and culture that have shaped journalism over many decades. I would like to thank the contributors, who kindly agreed to revisit their subjects and turn them into these chapters.
