Personal Democracy Forum: Is the Watchdog Press Dead?
December 15, 2010"The sources are voting with their leaks," notes Jay Rosen of New York University's school of journalism. If the watchdog press was doing its job, wouldn't leakers be going to mainstream news outlets like the New York Times and the Guardian directly, instead of to WikiLeaks first? Meanwhile, Emily Bell, formerly of the Guardian and now at Columbia University's journalism school, says that whether we like it or not, WikiLeaks is the new face of journalism.Personal Democracy Forum: Wikileaks and Internet Freedom
December 14, 2010This weekend, the Personal Democracy Forum convened a symposium on WikiLeaks and the Internet. GRITtv was there as well, and today we bring you excerpts from that event, with journalists, academics, activists, and others talking about the impact of the leaks site on our political and technological systems.Jay Rosen & Michael Otterman: What Will WikiLeaks Change?
July 29, 2010"What if the elites decide that public opinion doesn't matter?" That's the truly scary question asked by Jay Rosen about the newest leaks from what he calls the world's first "stateless news organization," WikiLeaks. Using the power of the Internet, WikiLeaks is not bound by the laws of any particular country, and its release of the Afghanistan war documents this week to publications in three countries (the U.S., England and Germany) has been a topic of discussion all week.Bernie Sanders, WikiLeaks and News, and Lost Billions in Iraq
July 29, 2010This upper-crust of extremely wealthy families are hell-bent on destroying the democratic vision of a strong middle-class which has made the United States the envy of the world. In its place they are determined to create an oligarchy in which a small number of families control the economic and political life of our country.Week In Review: What Does New Journalism Look Like?
December 5, 2009Where is journalism headed? Is "balanced" coverage really the best option, or does it leave too many out in the cold? How responsible is the media for the failures of the health care debate? Jay Rosen, New York University professor and one of the most prominent thinkers about journalism in the new media era, has some answers to all of these questions.Jay Rosen: What Does New Journalism Look Like?

December 1, 2009President Obama is about to announce a troop escalation in Afghanistan. Though it's consistent with his campaign promises, public opinion has shifted and now, according to most polls, a majority of the American people oppose the war. Politics as usual? Is he stuck?Is there a way around the machine to create a true politics of the people?The F Word: "Serious" Discussion of Afghanistan
December 1, 2009Fareed Zakaria, giving voice to the Beltway consensus, said: “It is time to get real about Afghanistan. Withdrawal is not a serious option.” Does this mean that 51 to 53% of the American people simply aren't “serious”? The “Church of the Savvy,” as today's guest Jay Rosen calls them, clearly think so.
