SUMMARY:Connie Walker and Lydia Polgreen in Conversation: The State of the Media
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThis event is nearly sold out. To register for the free Livestream\, please select Get Tickets from the EventBrite page\, then select Livestream Only from the ticketing options.  \nIn a recent New York Times opinion piece\, journalist Lydia Polgreen highlights a growing division between “news haves and have-nots.” \nWhile subscription-based news sources and user-supported independent outlets provide diverse options for engaged news consumers\, media consolidation and downsizing in free-access platforms result in a diminishing range of choices. This leaves those who don’t pay for news to navigate a fractured information ecosystem that includes declining television news\, social media\, partisan outlets\, and AI-generated news. \nThis has far-reaching implications for society and democracy. Join Pulitzer and Peabody award-winning journalist Connie Walker and Polgreen as they explore the current media landscape and its profound impact on our society and democratic values. \nThis in-person event featured Lydia Polgreen\, of the New York Times in conversation with Pulitzer and Peabody award-winning journalist Connie Walker of Gimlet Media on the 54th floor of the TD Centre.  \nView video of the event on CPAC.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492008828909{margin-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column] ABOUT THE SPEAKERS [vc_column_text] \nAbout the Speakers\nLydia Polgreen\nLydia Polgreen became an Opinion columnist for The New York Times in 2022.
