A decade after Seattle became a one-daily town, local journalists continue to lose their jobs, most recently with the closures of Seattle Weekly and City Arts magazine. On the national scene, Buzzfeed News, Vice and Huffington Post have announced major layoffs, prompting a new question: Is there a path forward for any news organization?

This session is sponsored by Mike & Becky Hughes.
