The Durango Herald\u2019s editorial advisory board meets in its first meeting in October 2017. As part of the Durango Public Library\u2019s annual Literary Festival, a moderated panel discussion about the changing face of journalism will be held Wednesday.<\/span>Durango Herald file<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The discussion, \u201cThe Changing Face of Journalism: How the \u2018digital disruption\u2019 has affected the news industry and journalism education, and why local news matters more than ever,\u201d will include Amy Maestas, senior editor of The Durango Herald; Claudia Laws, audience development manager for the Herald; Paige Gray, assistant professor of English at Fort Lewis College; and Faron Scott, professor of English at FLC and a member of the Herald\u2019s editorial advisory board.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s speaker at the library\u2019s Literary Festival will be Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author and political analyst Carl Bernstein. The panel, to be held the day before Bernstein\u2019s talk, will center on the current state of media, which is a different landscape than when Bernstein and his former colleague Bob Woodward, both investigative journalists at The Washington Post in the early 1970s, broke the biggest story in American politics, which led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. With what became known as \u201cWatergate,\u201d Woodward and Bernstein influenced a generation of journalists who sought a profession that centers on being watchdogs of government.<\/p>\n

Today, the legendary journalists do some work as political analysts, drawing from their years of covering American politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal news matters, especially as the large corporate media companies assert their influence on everything that is reported,\u201d Irwin said. \u201cAs a library, we seek to provide unbiased information, and we rely on local news and high-quality journalism to give our customers the best possible information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irwin will moderate the panel. Her focus, she said, will help start a conversation about how future journalists are taught, especially after the changes the media industry has endured in the last decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing in Carl Bernstein is exciting,\u201d Irwin added. \u201cCombining his visit with our panel provides the opportunity to focus on journalism in a world that is fractured by bias and opinion and to create some mutual understanding of how news reporting works.\u201d<\/p>\n
