The Roaring Fork Cultural Council (RFCC) is bringing Aspen Institute President & CEO Walter Isaacson to the Thunder River Theatre in Carbondale to address questions about the future of journalism and the media:

•Can journalism survive–and, if so, will it be in a form that we recognize?
•Given all the warnings of change …in the news industry, why was it possible for the old media industry to be caught unawares?
•Are new revenue models viable or merely hopeful?
•Is there any path forward that is cause for optimism for traditional media–particularly the print media?
•What does the change to digital mean for the individual journalist? Are a new set of skills necessary and/or a new way of doing business?
•What does all the cascading change mean for the First Amendment and Freedom of the Press?
