If you are a young person interested in journalism, or if you know young people interested in journalism, then there’s a panel happening that you might be interested in. Organized by the student-run NYU Local, a panel of editors and writers are discussing things that are affecting young journalists, like the way Twitter effects the news cycle. If that’s up your alley, or you have a kid who’s thinking about going to journalism school you want to impress, this could interest you.

The panelists invited to speak consisted mostly of young people and of editors who employ young people. Speaking on the panel was Any O’Leary, a reporter for The New York Times; Dana Goldstein, who writes The Nation and Slate; Jake Dobkin, one of the co-founders of Gothamist; Elizabeth Spiers, the Editor-in-Chief of The New York Observer; Ben Smith, the current head honcho at Buzzfeed; and actual young media person Joe Coscarelli, who writes for Daily Intel.
