Event will be held on Monday, March 23, 8 p.m., at the National Press Club

We live in an age when people "read CNN" and "watch the Wall Street Journal." As venerable news organizations transform themselves to survive and thrive in a digital world, new competitors are attracting huge audiences, unencumbered by old infrastructures and empowered by technology.

This dynamic is driving innovation in the way news is gathered, sorted, reported, and consumed. Not since Edward R. Murrow invented broadcast news during World II has the world seen such a dramatic change in journalism. Murrow also established a standard of quality that has withstood the test of time.

On this edition of The Kalb Report, moderator Marvin Kalb explores how today's newsrooms can innovate while maintaining quality. Guests include CNN Senior Vice President and Washington Bureau Chief Sam Feist; BuzzFeed White House Reporter Evan McMorris-Santoro; Jon Sawyer, director of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting; and Gabriella Stern, deputy managing editor of the Wall Street Journal.

The Kalb Report will take place on Monday, March 23, at 8 p.m. ET, in the main ballroom of the National Press Club, 529 14th Street, NW, in Washington, D.C.

The Kalb Report series is co-produced by The National Press Club Journalism Institute, the George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs, Harvard's Shorenstein Center, University of Maryland University College, and the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.

For the 12th consecutive year, the series is underwritten by a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.

Since 1994, the partnership has produced 86 forums with guests including Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, Walter Cronkite, Rupert Murdoch, Diane Sawyer, Roger Ailes, Katie Couric, Bill O'Reilly, Bob Costas, Hillary Clinton, Ken Burns, and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel. In 2012, The Kalb Report was honored with the overall Grand Award in the New York Festivals International Radio Awards competition.
