The Aspen Ideas Festival, 2009. As magazines grow ever thinner, TV networks cut corners, and venerable newspapers lay off hundreds or close completely, critical questions about finding a profitable future for the news business loom - with few answers to be found. But there are many good ideas afoot, from innovative micropayment systems to nonprofit support for journalism. This panel of news-business veterans will explore and debate the latest thinking and explain where they see the most hope for the business and what we stand to lose should a viable new model not emerge. Steven Brill, Michael Kinsley, Norman Pearlstine, and Katharine Weymouth discuss with Walter Isaacson. Speakers: Steven Brill, Walter Isaacson, Norman Pearlstine, Katharine Weymouth The Aspen Ideas Festival is the nation's premier, public gathering place for leaders from around the globe and across many disciplines to engage in deep and inquisitive discussion of the ideas and issues that both shape our lives and challenge our times.
