Top Writers/Editors Debate Newspapers' Future in NYC

Top Writers/Editors Debate Newspapers' Future in NYC: ""Does print have a future?" asked Slate founding editor Michael Kinsley Thursday evening to kick off a panel celebrating the 10th anniversary of the online magazine.

Entitled "Online Media and the Future of Journalism" and held at the main branch of the New York Public Library, the panel addressed a wide range of issues in the movement of content online and the future of print media. On stage with Kinsley were former Time Inc. editor in chief Norman Pearlstine; current Slate editor Jacob Weisberg; Arianna Huffington, who co-founded HuffingtonPost.com; and Malcolm Gladwell, staff writer for The New Yorker and bestselling author."
