Newspapers are as good as dead. The Internet is filling our brains with infotrivia. And independent, in-depth journalism is a relic.
But wait! As long as humans have stood upright, they’ve told stories – true stories that have archived their history, recorded their passions, passed along their lessons and helped them survive.
Jacqui Banaszynski, a Pulitzer-winning journalist, former senior editor of The Oregonian, and a teacher at one of the country’s best journalism schools, muses on what is changing about the profession of storytelling – and what never will.

While some futurists find the promise of technology-driven utopias enticing, Evgeny Morozov, author of The Net Delusion: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom, wonders if we might be entering into a bargain with “solutionism” that trades ease and efficiency for the “imperfections” of freedom and democracy.
Morozov is a contributing editor for The New Republic. He’s also written for the New York Times, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and the London Review of Books.
$30 for Turnbull staff and students.
