As the news business continues to confront fundamental economic challenges, a report, released on Oct. 19, 2009 by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, proposes new steps for maintaining a vibrant, independent press, with special emphasis on local "accountability journalism" that is essential to civic life. The report, "The Reconstruction of American Journalism," was written by Leonard Downie, Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post, and Michael Schudson, a Journalism School professor. The report was released at an Oct. 20 event at the New York Public Library, hosted by Lee Bollinger, president, Columbia University; Nicholas Lemann, dean, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism; Paul Leclerc, president and CEO, New York Public Library; Julie Sandorf, president, Charles H. Revson Foundation; Clay Shirky, Interactive Telecommunications Program, New York University; and Aryeh Neier, president of the Open Society Institute.
