Media platforms are transforming, and leaving many old trains behind.
Right now we're watching ITV in its headlong retreat from local news; Murdoch launch plans to charge for online; publications losing bucket-loads of cash as circulation and advertising revenue figures fall.
Just how big is the crisis in world journalism?
On Wednesday October 28, 2-5 pm experts from all over the world will participate in a unique video conference at Coventry University.
Entry will be free and open to all.
