Newsroom Cuts - Are They Hurting American Journalism?
Newspapers are losing readers at a rapid pace - many have cut staff, gone into bankruptcy or are closing their doors. Americans are just not reading printed newspapers like they used to - and attempts to make money with ads or subscriptions on the Internet have yet to be a success. Some think the heart of American journalism is being cut out.
Broadcasters are cutting back as well - or turning to single-person reporting crews expected to do more for less pay.
The University of Maryland has the experts who can provide analysis and perspective on the changing face of journalism in the United States. Experts are listed alphabetically. Feel free to contact any of our experts directly.
The Merrill College of Journalism has a new dean - Kevin Klose - who is available to talk on these issues. Please call University Communications at 301-405-4621 if you would like to talk with him.
