When it comes to the future of media, the possibilities are endless and a number of questions arise: How will we consume news and information? Can media companies be sustained? Is print truly dead?
These questions and more will be addressed at the Mashable Media Summit in New York City next week, and we want Mashable readers throughout the world to be a part of the conversation. We're thrilled to invite you to organize or attend a post-Media Summit breakdown to discuss the lessons learned about the future of media.
The Mashable Media Summit Meetup will take place on Nov. 16, about two weeks after the Mashable Media Summit itself. We hope to inspire reflection on how technological advancements in media will not only change the world but also affect you on a personal level.
Media Summit Meetup Themes
Here are a few topics the Mashable Media Summit will spotlight that we encourage you to discuss at your local Meetup:
Reinventing journalism with social reporting
Advancing the relationship between news organizations and their communities
Reinvigorating advertising and creating new business models
Changing the way we consume media and entertainment
Redefining the way we view privacy and our senses of self
Feel free to talk about these ideas or your own. Your Mashable Media Summit Meetup can take just about any shape you’d like, depending on what best suits your community.
