Master on how to get things to happen. Her grandfather was, is the legendary bob strauss who probably was one of the legends of politics in america. Before i asked mark to kick it before i ask mark to kick it off, a book is out that i just watched called the death and life of american journalism. The book is dedicated to bill moyers. There is a quote at the beginning that says this is a crisis for journalism that is also a crisis for american democracy. You are experiencing it now. Thank you. Great to be here. I have met so many wonderful people already in this room. Thank you to tom for encouraging me to come, and to you for being here. Im afraid i might have been oversold a little bit in the sense that i cannot tell you what the future of news is. I guess i would challenge anyone in this world to say what the future of news is. It is in flux. There is a thinker about journalism, clay sherkie, who wrote a blog post several years ago in which he says memorably, compared the phase were
You can only focus on a few things. There is the question of what are you going to focus on at your company . Focused. Have to stay sorting through the good ideas is sometimes hard. Other questions . Do you see yourself as you evolve as a Media Company getting to other things like conferences and events that you states stage . We do some of events. We interview people. And it is an interesting way to generate media. It is a trend of live event plus live content. Do one more here. Just say it. I will repeat it. First of all, i want to tell you that i respect your model and how you went and asked studies of the real media companies. You are right. It wasnte nothing if for a guy by the name of read old illed read chef sheffiled. In his book, reed was the one who recruited all the people from new york and they lived in a fleabag hotel while they founded cnn. It is a great story. I read the book called cnn the inside story with lots of inside stories with schonfeld being a major player whil
Exchanges but no bound so sightly tightly that youre so stuck on the rules, you cut them off just before they say, i killed my wife. Sorry, youre out of time. You want to make sure thats exchange. We all function by rules, though. Judy, you raised about the topic. Did you like the format, one for Foreign Affairs i think given an ideal situation, you think a president deals a great deal with Foreign Policy, domestic policy, and i think ideally it makes a lot of sense just to make sure that youre not going to be so heavily weighted one way or another. For example in the 2004 election, when iraq was a huge issue, i could say, gwen, remember this better than i will that may have been a time when there would be when the candidates would want to spend a lot more time oop Foreign Policy. Right now most voters say their primary concern is the economy. So, i think maybe there needs to be a little more flexibility on that. I know candy, im sure, was thinking about that as she was figuring about
Just say, we are thinking about those people like certain muslim religious leaders in this country, the wonderful imam from Catholic University that is certainly not meant to be an oxymoron but others who could serve as individuals, who could relate messages, create understanding, build bridges, be part of what we would call the unofficial, but now much more employment put it this way universe of diplomacy that we could use in that particular fashion. I think it makes a lot of sense. Retirees are fine, but maybe active individuals in their own area who know the problem very well from a religious angle want to now be part of the official quotient in moving the question ahead. Thank you. Thank you very much.
