Philadelphia has a vibrant new media industry, but did you know that the City of Brotherly love is also a powerhouse in the journalism business, rich in Pulitzer Prize winners and a history that pre-dates the American Revolution? 

Today, the news industry in Philadelphia and across the country is being redefined by the Web and the mobile phone. The changes are so profound that Arthur Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times, has said that he is managing the transition of The Times from a print product to an online product. Journalists everywhere are rapidly retooling from single-media storytellers to multimedia storytelling. Publishers are transitioning from print-based services to Web-based services. The time is ripe for Philadelphia’s new media and news media to come together and explore opportunities for enriching collaborations. 

PANMA invites you to an eye-opening Educational Event featuring new media pioneers from Philadelphia journalism.

Panelists: 

Hai Do
Director of Photography at the Philadelphia Inquirer will speak about the newspaper’s transition from “old” to “new” media.

 Jim MacMillan

 Marc Steel
