Emil Wilbekin, managing editor, Essence.com
Essence.com Managing Editor Emil Wilbekin says that the future of journalism will be more like a conversation than the typical dictating monologue that’s been the better part of the history of magazines and newspapers.
Wilbekin says a lot of the change will be driven by technology.
He encouraged students at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications to take their interests and use digital media to change the game. But he added that the standard journalistic rules and standards will still apply.
Wilbekin was a founding editor at VIBE and recently headed Giant Magazine before coming to Essence.com in June.
The talk was sponsored by Syracuse University’s Magazine Department and the Black Communications Society.
