now, journalism is just getting started. people like coates, klein, and carr, have used the new possibilities of the internet to shine light into the systems that shape politics, economy, culture, and even our own industry. mr. carr was instrumental to move it to the way it is today. and of course, there are great challenges. and just because the printing press is giving way to pixels, it must not mean that our values change. it's the thinking that matters not the form in which it's conveyed. and "the new republic" has been going through some changes. we may be a little more vertical and integrated, who knows? but our teams are busy making magazines, websites, and social media that our founder outlined 100 years ago. he said, it's to be radically progressive. a journal of opinion which seeks to meet the challenge of a new time. i couldn't agree more. if our founder sat down today to find the best way to achieve this mission, they wouldn't have picked a print magazine. they were smart people. they couldn't have ignored the di

ford award for journalism. he's the author of two new york times best-selling books and as a result, both of those books have chronicled much of his reporting. and in 2009 mike, along with brody, who you'll meet in a couple of minutes, was named as one of the 50 best and most influential journalists in the nation's capital. he graduated from wash u and received his masters degree in journalism from northwest. so mike, we're familiar with nbc and "newsweek," which maybe today we're not so familiar with. tell us about yahoo's news philosophy and how are they reaching the audience with news. >> well, thank you. and actually, this is sort of new unchartered territory for me in the digital space. but -- and it is evolving. yahoo has made a commitment to -- as to be a serious news player, it is invested heavily in recruiting people, katie couric is the sort of chief global anchor, matt bye is the political columnist, i came on board last year, we're hiring other people. and we're trying to basically -- although yahoo

those journals into print before lewis and clark did. they were translated into many languages. people were eager to understand what the west offered. he helped us understand the geography. he certainly did not get the map correct, and the territory that he covered was he helpslimited, but us to understand the connection, the potential connection between settled parts of the united mexico.nd what is now his journals encouraged what would become the santa fe trail, a trade route that link to the united states with mexico -- that linked the united states with mexico. idea thatther to the the west was when he and others called the great american desert. and that visual image is something that we still see in reality today in terms of how dry and eric this part of the errant can be -- dry and -- arid this part of the country can be. today, there are many ways to get to the top of pike's peak. the pike's peak highway, which we are standing very near right now, and it is evil to get in their car -- and it is easy for people to get in their car

people know who the wall street journal journal. they know who we are and make a decision.you can read an editorial and say this is coming from a conservative point of view or i don't. it's bunk. on the editorial -- the journalism side of it, as you said earlier, we've written a lot of stories or the journalism side of it, as you said earlier, we've written stories, more pro consumer stories that are intended to or you hope they do effect public policy for good. find and root out wrongdoing and lead to policy changes. i'm glad you mentioned that's our reputation. that's what we would like to have. it sort of goes back to my point about credibility and being careful you don't make mistakes or you're a credible messenger. all you have is your grand name. as soon as you make mistakes, you lose that. you're not going to have the trust of readers. >> all right. so that goes back to you, larry. a lot of people are concerned that much of the information on the internet and internet news sources is unfiltered. you're an editor. if it because of folks like you and editors that are s

for my and my colleagues in the school of journalism, serious journalism and real jurnism, the journalism we share with our students begins with a simple idea. it is about being there. not just to get the story, but to help illuminate places. it is often about reporters crossing frontiers in the hope they can bring light to the stories of the people who live in the world's darker places. yet these days this kind of journalism comes at a terrible price and it is that blunt reality that brings us together tonight. john and diane foley and terry aerpd can attest first hand to the brutal truth. we're grateful to them and my colleague david mccraw for joining us to share the experiences and thoughts about this hard, new world. today journalists are seen as targets. not only by terrorist organizations and narcotics cartels, but repressive governments. since the early 1990s more than 1100 journalists have been killed and many more kidnapped or detained or driven into exile. it includes local reporters who lived and worked in the troubled places, it includes a growing number of freelancers and am
