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

==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.
 
 
 
==HOW TO ATTEND==
 
 
 
We hope you are able to join us. To have a productive conversation, we're limiting the in-person attendance to 60 people. Please let us know as soon as possible if you can attend. Send an email to [mailto:jstevens@mmjourno.com jstevens@mmjourno.com], or call 707-495-1112.<br>
