IS WORLD JOURNALISM IN CRISIS?
2:00pm, Wednesday 28 October 2009
With papers closing internationally, journalists heading for dole queues, ITV in headlong retreat from local news, and Murdoch charging for online content, the state of journalism is beginning to resemble the all too familiar scenes of Arthur Rothstein’s depression era photography. But just how big has this crisis in world journalism become?

Entry will be free and open to all.
