It's no secret that the way news is gathered, reported and disseminated has changed in recent years. What is not clear is the impact of these changes. Do "new media" trends have staying power? Could they eventually lead to the decline of traditional reporting? The Atlanta Press Club will hold a series of monthly programs in 2007 that examine the way traditional journalism is changing with the times.

Join us for our first program in this series on Thursday, June 7. We'll look at the phenomenon of citizen journalism. So far confirmed panelists include:

Lea Donosky, Atlanta Journal-Consitution
Mark Bauer, WSB
Grayson Daughters, Way South Media, Inc.
More panelists will be listed soon.

This is an evening program that is free to APC members and $10 for nonmembers. Networking will be 6-7 p.m. and the program 7-8:30 p.m. The program will be in The Commerce Club building, 18th Floor. Go to www.atlantapressclub.org to register.

People who attend this program will get a free copy of Manning Selvage & Lee's 2007-2008 Atlanta Media Guide.
