Not the snappiest of titles, but it makes the point: Fairfax chief executive Greg Hywood will lecture at Melbourne University on ‘If you ask me about the future of newspapers you have asked the wrong question’.

The A.N. Smith Lecture in Journalism will be held on Tuesday evening, November 15 at 6pm in the Basement Theatre at ‘The Spot’, Business and Economics Building, 198 Berkeley St, Carlton.

Hywood  has proposed a new model for newspapers and will explore journalism in a ‘post-classified’ environment.
