A revolution is transforming a media landscape once dominated by the "mainstream media." Democracy needs good information, but until recently, a media culture sympathetic to big government skewed the news playing field. No more. Talk radio, Fox News, The Drudge Report, state-based think tank reporting and online opinion sites have created a new, freedom-oriented national infrastructure that has fed a starved market, diversified coverage and provided an alternative to the legacy media. In this crucial election year, that new media universe is playing a crucial role. A panel of five "new media" figures will discuss how this revolution affects Michigan.

There is no need to register for the event.
