STORYTELLING IN THE TIME
OF CREATIVE DESTRUCTION
An interactive conference at Stanford University, 7-9 June 2010
BY THE STANFORD CENTER FOR INNOVATION AND COMMUNICATION,
STANFORD UNIVERSITY


PRESENTED JUNE 7 2010

PURPOSE OF CONFERENCE: The world is driven by creative destruction, when entrepreneurs introduce innovations that change societies and drive economic growth. How can journalism survive, while successfully telling the stories about it and facilitating public discussion? Is journalism+innovation a key to collective intelligence in the innovation economy? IJ-7 is a conference for everyone who thinks journalism and innovation is important. We welcome all journalism and innovation stakeholders: journalists, industry, policy-makers in media and innovation, PR, academic researchers, faculty and students in related areas of study, other professionals connected to the news industry, as well as individuals with a special interest in journalism and innovation.
