On Thursday, Aug. 27, five former staff from the Rocky Mountain News joined citizens from around the country to talk about the future of journalism.

It was a wide ranging conversation that touched on questions as diverse as: What inspires people to stay in journalism? What are the IRS stipulations regarding ads and nonprofit news sites? How has media consolidation changed the face of journalism? What are key skills for the next generation of journalists? And much, much more.

The entire conversation is archived at the bottom of this post.
