We've been hearing a lot about the death of newspapers lately.
In the US the national daily The Christian Science Monitor recently went web-only, and a question mark hangs over such well known titles as the Boston Globe. But with the rise and rise of the Internet are we simply seeing quality journalism switch from one delivery medium to another or is it something more serious.
Robert McChesney - the founder of the half million strong American lobby group - Free Press- for one believes the future of journalism itself is in peril.
Ideas talks to Robert McChesney, former newspaper editor and current head of the Whitireia journalism programme Jim Tucker, and Julie Starr - journalism commentator and one of the team responsible for the Daily Telegraph's internet strategy.
