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.
