The New Story vs. The News Story

Stephan Weiss Lecture Series Fall 2015, Parsons School of Design

The New Story vs. The News Story: Panel + Design Hackathon

When did journalism and entertainment converge? Why do sensationalist stories dominate our news feed? How do people consume news today and how well do they process and integrate the various points of view? Will editorial content ever manage to cut through all the viral stories, opinions, comments and hashtags?

Join Design and Flow - D&F for an evening of dissection, discussion and conversation around the intersection of design and media at Parsons School of Design: 
What is the New Story vs. the News Story?

Panel: Examining the evolution of the news landscape, the information flux and the current disconnect between legacy journalism and millenials.

TIM STOCK - Co-founder/Managing Partner at scenarioDNA (http://www.timstock.net/)

SALAH ZALATIMO - VP Mobile Products at Forbes Media (http://www.forbes.com/)

Moderators:
Hala A. Malak - Co-founder, Design and Flow
&
Reina Arakji - Director, BBA Strategic Design and Management, Parsons School of Design

Our panel will be followed by a Design and Flow Hackathon: How can design add flow by re-imagining the news story? 
The hackathon is open to individuals and multidisciplinary teams. Prizes for the winning teams.

Refreshments and snacks will be served.
