In an industry where technology seems to change by the minute, we’ll sit down for a briefing of new media industry technology trends with Doug Fisher of the University
of South Carolina School of Journalism. Fisher is a veteran journalist who spent nine years as a news editor for The Associated Press. His interests are in reporting, precision
writing, ethics, media economics, newsroom sociology, and new ways to manage the increasing flow of information so that reporters and editors, as well as consumers, do
not suffer “information burnout.” He began his career in radio and television, became a newspaper reporter and then was a fellow in the Kiplinger Public Affairs Reporting
Program at Ohio State University before joining the AP in 1983.He is the founder of the HartsvilleToday.com community news project that has shown, in conjunction with
the Hartsville Messenger newspaper, how such sites can invigorate local news coverage and form a vibrant online community. In 2007, he became executive editor of The Fisher
Convergence Newsletter, and he is co-author of Principles of Convergent Journalism, now in its second edition (Oxford, 2012).

University, where he was a member of the football team. He graduated first in his class from Duke University Law School in 1978. His book, Free Speech in an Open Society
(Alfred A. Knopf, 1992) won the William O. Douglas Award as the year’s best monograph on freedom of expression. He is also the author of Jerry Falwell v. Larry Flynt: The
First Amendment on Trial (St. Martin’s Press, 1988) and Deliberate Intent (Crown Publishers, 1999). Deliberate Intent was made into a television movie by the FX cable
network, in which actor Timothy Hutton played the role of Rod Smolla, depicting his involvement in a notorious case in which he successfully represented the families of
