News Literacy and Preservation: Finding, Using, and Losing the News
Saturday, June 26, 2010
1:30-3:30 pm
Renaissance Hotel, Congressional Hall A/B
In the age of blogging, wikis, and social networking, the ways we harvest news are
changing and the proliferation and transitory nature of news creates archiving challenges.
How do we help students integrate and evaluate nontraditional news sources versus
established journalistic practices? How do we preserve and provide access to both
traditional and nontraditional sources?
Join EBSS in a panel discussion on the issues of news literacy and preservation.
Speakers:
Meg Smith, Researcher, The Washington Post
Hannah Sommers, Broadcast Librarian, National Public Radio
Bernard Reilly, President, Center for Research Libraries
Debora Cheney, Foster Communications Librarian and Head, News and Microforms Library, The
Pennsylvania State University Libraries
