REGISTER: The State of Journalism in 2026
Jun 05, 2026
Explore the rapidly evolving state of journalism at The Westport Library in partnership with CT Mirror, winner of the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting.
Host John Dankosky leads a timely conversation with Dick Tofel, founding general manager and first employee of ProPublica — CT Mirr
or’s partner on the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation — alongside Marie Shanahan, head of University of Connecticut Department of Journalism and a leading researcher on digital journalism, news literacy, and public discourse.
Together, they’ll examine how journalists and educators are uniting forces to adapt in an era shaped by misinformation and declining public trust — and how nonprofit investigative outlets like ProPublica are transforming the media landscape and redefining what the future of news can look like.
