Andrew Sherry Addresses New Media and E Government

April 28, 2009

U.S. media expert Andrew Sherry spoke to media professionals, academics, and students in Ankara about the emerging new media technologies that are revolutionizing journalism.  Sherry emphasized that new media is changing the nature of competition in the media industry and  expanding the audiences of traditional journalism, while transforming the way that information is communicated.  He also noted that new media has positively affected the way that political campaigns are run and the ways that governments can communicate with their constituents, which has contributed to increased government transparency.
