Robert Jensen gives a teach-in on Talking Radical in a Mainstream World for Occupy Austin's Independence Day gathering. Occupy Austin (7/4/12) describes the goal of the gathering: “We are coming together to write a new declaration. A Declaration that reminds us of the uncertain road that those who founded our country followed. A Declaration that reminds us why we still believe in this great nation. A Declaration that reminds us what we still have left to achieve. A Declaration that reminds us that this country does now, has always and will always be of the people.” There were also teach-ins on topics including trade agreements, the Citizens United ruling, education, and the tar sands.

In this lecture, Robert Jensen from the UT School of Journalism will explain the two crises in modern journalism: A professional model that has failed to create a truly democratic news media, and a business model that is no longer viable in the digital age. How are the two crises related, and where can we find solutions? Jensen will guide us through the debate over the future of journalism. A ZGraphix production.
