SUMMARY:Coffee with the Profs - Journalism in the Crosshairs and at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:
 Journalists have long seen their profession as 
 an essential feature of democratic life, providing 
 an independent and authoritative source 
 of information to citizens and policymakers. 
 This commitment made journalism a powerful 
 social force and an attractive profession to 
 civically-minded persons. However, in the 21st 
 century, journalism has faced significant disruptions, 
 which have exposed journalism's shortcomings 
 and made it a target from all sides. 
 For many, the need for good journalism is 
 profoundly clear, but what constitutes good 
 journalism is much less clear than what it once 
 was. That's left journalism and journalism 
 education at a crossroads.\n
 \n
 One of the MSU 
 Alumni Office's long-standing featured offerings, 
 the Coffee with the Profs series highlights 
 research and work done by some of MSU's 
 finest faculty and staff. This lifelong education 
 program is open to all.\n
 \n
 There is no cost 
 to attend, but registration is required.
