New Directions for News, an independent media research think tank, has combined operations with The Media Center, a division of the American Press Institute (CyberJournalist.net is a service of The Media Center).
The agreement between the two organizations creates a leading research and training institute on the issues shaping change, innovation and strategies impacting the future of news, information and media. NDN projects will continue as part of The Media Center/NDN, including: audience-based insight and analysis of the forces shaping change in media; the impact and emergence of contributory media; research on quality as a tangible asset of news; scenario planning for media executives; and emerging economic and news models.
