THURSDAY, JULY 7 from 8:20 a.m. – 10 a.m. ET<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

Social media has profoundly reshaped American media over the last decade, roiling newsrooms and provoking bitter public debates about the nature of journalism itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Semafor’s first pre-launch event will convene both leading actors and commentators in the contemporary battle over the nature of news, and ask whether and how news can operate in a hyper-polarized landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

As trust in the news industry sinks to a new low, we\u2019ll ask what comes next, and what we can do to reinvigorate the news industry. This is the first in a series of forums on the future of news sponsored by the Knight Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Semafor’s editor-in-chief Ben Smith will conduct 1:1 interviews with Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz, Politico’s John Harris and Tucker Carlson of Fox News.  Carlson will be joining the program remotely.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Semafor’s executive editor Gina Chua will moderate a panel with journalist and author Wesley Lowery, WSJ ‘s former Washington executive editor Gerald Seib and host of Al Jazeera’s The Stream, Femi Oke.<\/p>\n<\/div>
