Facebook status updates. Tweets. RSS Feeds. Where do you get your news from?

Even if many people still subscribe to a daily newspaper, wake up to a world report radio alarm or switch on breakfast TV news before dashing out the door, chances are they’re not just relying on conventional journalism.

In face of this constant onslaught of social media, newspapers are folding, the industry is making cutbacks and there are mass lay-offs. The bubble has burst.

How can journalists survive in this brave New Media world?

Jeff Jarvis has some suggestions.

Mr. Jarvis started his career as a newspaper writer, but has now become a passionate advocate for new media and citizen journalism. The author of What Would Google Do, he blogs about media and news at Buzzmachine.com. He is associate professor and director of interactive journalism at the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism.
