The Future Of News - The Knight Media Forum

Strengthening local news, community and democracy

LIVE February 26-27, 2019

The Knight Media Forum is the most important annual gathering of journalists, funders, information theorists and others interested in the future of the news media in this country.

And this year its mission is more crucial than ever, as trust in the media continues to decline, as local newsrooms shrink, as news deserts expand and as the threat these changes pose for democracy becomes abundantly clear.

The Knight Media Forum will be convening leading experts at both the local and national level to explore solutions to assure that all citizens receive accurate, reliable news and information that serves the needs of their diverse communities.

Wyoming Public Media will be live streaming the conference on February 26-27.

The conference takes place in Miami and will also address how changes in technology affect the news we receive, encouraging new models for gathering and disseminating the news and the future of community access to information. 

After all, we all have a role to play in rebuilding trust in the media, whether we produce, deliver or consume the news.

Anchoring the coverage is Emmy-winning journalist, Hari Sreenivasan, host of "PBS NewsHour Weekend" and the national public television show "SciTech Now."
