“The audience is the only thing that’s going to keep journalism alive.”
In a media world full of choice for news content, news satire is doing more than drawing large audiences. Programs like The Colbert Report have gained so much popularity that they are, to some, a trusted source for political news and commentary. In her SXSW panel, Comedy is the New Journalism, the Power of Satire, News Hangover creator and producer Keli Dailey will discuss the viability (and effectiveness) of satire as a means of communicating the news.
When and Where:
Friday, March 11
5:00PM – 6:00PM
