Journalism Innovations Conference

I attended the Journalism Innovations Conference yesterday.  There were a few recurring themes during the various panels

  • Can/should the San Francisco Chronicle be saved?
  • What is the current state and future of the news, print in particular
  • What are aspiring journalist going to do in the future.  More plainly, how do aspiring journalists find a job.
  • The traditional roles of Newspapers in the community and how will that will communities and societies deal with the diminishing circulation/ disappearance of Newspapers

While these topics were of interest, the more intriguing conversations revolved around the following ideas:

  • Separating the idea of journalism from newspapers
  • Newspapers were actually designed around the monopolistic natural and reach of their distribution networks (or trucks)
  • New business models that will allow newspapers to continue in a new form(s).

Meeting some people that were interested in new approaches to aggregrating and publishing content, something like Evectors.
