Is Leonard Downie Jr. right when he says that designating FCC fees and funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are acceptable means to strengthen local journalism and accountability reporting?

Here's your chance to engage Downie in candid discussion about The Reconstruction of American Journalism report. Join him in an ASNE webinar at 1 p.m. Eastern, Monday, Nov. 2. The session is free to ASNE members, $50 to nonmembers. Please click the link below to register.

The session will be moderated by Marty Kaiser, ASNE president and editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Downie is vice president at large at The Washington Post and Weil Family Professor of Journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Downie co-wrote the report with Michael Schudson, a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. The report, commissioned by the j-school, says journalism is being reinvented in promising ways.
