This document summarizes a session from 2014 on cross-platform journalism and content. It discusses how newspaper circulation figures are declining as people get news from different modern platforms. Media has always changed over time from newspapers to books to radio to TV to the internet. Journalists now have more tools and ways to tell stories by growing their own audiences across multiple platforms.
