Gutenberg’s Last Stand: Reinventing the Modern Newspaper

Newspapers came late – and somewhat reluctantly to the Web. Then they embraced "digital first," SEO and all things Internet as the way ahead. But, with digital dollars stalling, what’s next? Video, longreads, quick hits? Lou Clancy, vice-president of editorial and editor-in-chief of Postmedia News; Michael Cooke, editor of the Toronto Star; Charlotte Empey, editor-in-chief of Metro English Canada; and John Stackhouse, editor-in-chief of The Globe and Mail discussed the latest challenges to journalism and strategies to save the news business. Scott White, editor-in-chief of The Canadian Press, moderated.
