Inspired by the necessary changes implemented by Tyler Reinhard’s mobile-friendly version of CPCJ Media Landscape, new user-friendly design concepts were developed over the summer.
Having an identity that belongs to the individual journalist and doesn’t sponge off the reputation of the organization, is crucial. It’s easy to hide behind the reputation of your institution instead of understanding byline by byline, story by story, that writers need to establish a level of trust and interest with the reader. It’s about having an approachable way of interacting with readers. In that sense, you can pick up and move from organization to organization.
The moment of the tablet and blog is already passing and the hardcopy book, which is an unimprovable technology, will survive and make a comeback… I expect a proliferation of smaller imprints and independents like ours to appear in the next few years.
You are invited to a private discussion hosted by The New School’s new Creative Publishing and Critical Journalism graduate program with the new editorial team behind The New Republic on the current and future state of journalism.
Join us after the discussion for drinks and music to celebrate the pre-launch of the first annual CPCJ Media Magazine and to thank those who participated in interviews this semester.
Featuring TNR's:
Gabriel Snyder, Editor-in-Chief
Theodore Ross, Features Director
Jamil Smith, Senior Editor
Elle Reeve, Senior Editor
Bijan Stephen, Associate Editor
Moderated by: Gabriel Clermont, Paula Duran, and Sara Wilkins from the CPCJ program.
The question becomes, how do you create a publication that is built for engagement rather than a publication built just to get people to share your stories on social media….I think people are going to have to stop using engagement as just a buzzword and start taking super seriously.
