Today the field of journalism is under siege.
In a Time's essay (Feb. 5, 2009), former managing editor Walter Isaacson wrote "the crisis in journalism has reached meltdown proportions."

On Saturday, April 25, at 8 p.m. in Griffin Hall, room 3, on the Williams College campus, a distinguished group of journalists will consider the future of news and the institution of journalism.
The forum and a newly announced fellowship honor the memory of Jeffrey O. Jones (Williams '66), who as editor of the college's student newspaper displayed the journalistic flair that would distinguish his career in numerous media-related fields.
