| |
| − | | |
| − | A one-day Talkfest -- "Putting Feet on the Streets for Journalism" -- to develop plans for a news organization incubator, ws held Jan. 21, 2009 at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri, in Columbia, Mo.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The name of the incubator is the RJI Collaboratory. Many of us at the Reynolds Journalism Institute and the Missouri School of Journalism think it's a critical -- and opportune -- time to establish a news organization incubator.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is why: In 2008, traditional news organizations continued to shrink or close their doors. They laid off more than 15,000 journalists, resulting in a significant loss of good journalism so vital to U.S. citizens and our democracy. Dozens of communities now have little or no coverage of their local
| |
| − | health issues, their local environment, or their local government. Some no longer have reporters, no journalism at all in their communities.
| |
| − | | |
| − | That trend is likely to accelerate in 2009. Meanwhile, the Web continues to provide fertile ground for new social/news/information organizations, hundreds of which have appeared over the last few years and are thriving, including MaxPreps.com, MinnPost, WestSeattleblog.com, TheKnot.com, Huffington
| |
| − | Post, BlogHer, Politico, the St. Louis Beacon, CSTV.com (which is now part of CBSSportsline.com), and Marketwatch.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We think the RJI Collaboratory could provide resources and knowledge on how to start effective and successful Web-based news organizations. Those who could benefit from the news organization incubator are entrepreneurial mid-career journalists, and existing news organizations that are undertaking the
| |
| − | transformational strategies necessary to adapt to a Webcentric world.

| − | ==WHAT WE'LL FIGURE OUT==
| |
| − | | |
| − | These are some of the aspects of a news organization incubator that we need to figure out, and why we're asking you to participate:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | *What does a news organization incubator do exactly? We think an incubator can provide advertising strategies and techniques, technology services,
| |
| − | business planning, Web shell (information architecture/structure or organization of information) and design services, and ethics guidelines. But what else? And how does it provide its guidance
| |
| − | and services?
| |
| − | | |
| − | *What roles can other colleges and departments of the University of Missouri play in a news organization incubator? Could computer science
| |
| − | students develop online services for entrepreneurial journalists? Could business school students work with entrepreneurial journalists to develop robust
| |
| − | organizations?
| |
| − | | |
| − | *What could an incubator do in the first year? The second year? The third year?
| |
| − | | |
| − | *What does a news organization incubator need to get started?
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Does a news organization incubator derive funding from the organizations it nurtures? If so, how? If the news organization incubator is part of
| |
| − | the university, what is the incubator's intellectual property policy?
| |
| − | | |
| − | *How does the news organization incubator develop partnerships with other centers or journalism schools?
| |
| − | | |
| − | *How does the news organization incubator develop partnerships with organizations that might be interested in funding start-ups?
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the one-day event, we'll meet together in the morning to show you some successful Web-based news organizations. We'll discuss why we think a news organization incubator is necessary, and identify issues that entrepreneurial journalists and existing news organizations face as
| |
| − | they make the transition to becoming Webcentric news organizations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the afternoon, we'll meet in working groups to address particular issues in starting a news organization incubator, and how it will function. The approaches developed in those groups will serve as the foundation for a plan for the RJI Collaboratory.
