What kind of help/insight do you hope to get from this community?
Ideas and news about what people are trying and what ventures I should be studying as I write about emerging models for news and information-based businesses.
I think we should use the RJI Collaboratory incubator to develop:
Building blocks for geographic- or topic-based local Web news sites, Business assessment tools for local Web news sites, News apps and widgets, Clearinghouse of experts to help launch new services
Why the News Media Became Irrelevant—And How Social Media Can Help
Here's an essay I wrote for the Fall 09 issue of Nieman Reports
