Daniel said: Users go to the site with journalistic questions they want answered, "Why is corn still subsidized?" as an example, and journalists answer them. Smart, but execution is the hardest part.

Daniel said: Recent updates at the intersection of journalism and technology: Duke University released a report "full of interesting ideas" for applying technology to challenges in journalism, and a SF-based "Hacks and Hackers" group met for the first time on November 19th.

Daniel said: We covered the full gambit as fast as we could, everything from the large forces changing education to the practical, immediate things J schools could do to bring their experiences up to speed.

Daniel said: Solid summary of our progress to date. Quote:
In many ways, CoPress illustrates what can happen when news outlets allocate resources internally rather than outsource Web development to outside companies, which can limit their ability to be creative, innovative and entrepreneurial. By moving this work in-house, journalists -- students and professionals alike -- take risks, acquire new skills and develop a Web-first mentality.

Daniel said: It's reconvening on November 13th under the globe at the Seattle P-I. Quote:
It's like a hack day, code sprint, barcamp, barn raising or many other tech-geek terms for unstructured events. This one-day event brings journalists, programmers, entrepreneurs, web designers and students together to build something cool and, hopefully, useful. The first event, held in May, "sold out" quickly and produced three interesting prototypes by three different teams in a matter of hours.

Daniel said: The real thinking that needs to be done. Instead of trying to support the businesses of the past, we need to fundamentally rethink journalism and its relationship to communities. Quote:
In looking to reconstruct journalism, I'd start not by asking how do we get money for what we've always done. I'd ask instead: How do we provide something worth paying for? As a long-time news consumer, I have recoiled at much of what we are rendering as "journalism."

Daniel said: Epic. How technology coupled with creativity is changing all aspects of society. Quote:
Steve Jurvetson, partner at Draper Fisher Jurvetson, offers perspective on the market opportunities in innovation and technology. Topics discussed include the necessity for utter market disruption, interdisciplinary solutions (particularly across the "bio-nano" life sciences and engineering), and advice for those interested in working in the venture capital arena.

Daniel said: The beginnings of some scheming for round two. It smells like Sean Blanda wants a hack day for journalism projects. It should be longer than a day, in my opinion. Quote:
BarCamp also fell short on several fronts. The conference was perhaps too open, and I did a poor job of explaining to people how the event worked. But BCNI’s biggest failure was the lack of a product. Some thing to point to and say “Hey, that came out of BCNI!”
