The ReelChanges project was designed by the Center for Media Change, Inc. as an experimental new "bottom-up" business model that can finance the creation and distribution of high-quality journalism through a new technology platform that also reduces and redefines the role of traditional gatekeepers such as network owners, publishers and advertisers. The session will include the first public demonstration of the ReelChanges.org website, a preview of the site's full features and a discussion about how ReelChanges' "crowd-funding" methodology can be harnessed to build and sustain many other types of grassroots-funded newsrooms of the future.

	===Public-space media -- ~~urban kioks~~===		===Public-space media -- digital kiosks===

	* Kiosks at places such as mass transit stops could help bridge the digital divide. These could provide highly local news, information and advertising, and possibly also more opportunity for people to interact with each other and institutions. They could be supported by one or any combination of advertising, user fees and charitable contributions. What ~~technology can~~ make ~~this happen.~~ (Convenor: Maurreen Skowran)		* Kiosks at places such as laundries and mass transit stops could help bridge the digital divide. These could provide highly local news, information and advertising, and possibly also more opportunity for people to interact with each other and institutions. They could be supported by one or any combination of advertising, user fees and charitable contributions. The kiosks are already made by a number of companies (see http://www.selfservice.org/vendors2_cat30.php). Can these be improved on or made more cheaply? What is the best strategy to deploy these to help make news and information more accessible and appealing? (Convenor: Maurreen Skowran)

			===Mass Communication for Collaboration: Effective connections beyond JTM-SV===
			*Equal access without information overload: people need ways to reach everybody that isn't controlled by anyone (but doesn't waste too much of our time). People Who Give a Damn proposes that the reach of messages (in overlapping networks) could be moderated by rotating, random samples of people in the networks. Announcements, discussion, and even planning would be shared among huge numbers of people previously excluded from participation. We would like to make these tools and more to maintain conversations and collaboration at a sustainable level beyond JTM-SV and future NewsTools and Media Giraffe Projects. What do you want in them? What should be used instead or in addition? How important is control of communication networks (which we are all using and frequently contributing to). How should control be dealt with?

How to establish and encourage constructive interactivity with users; 6. What would an ideal news organization look like? 7.

			<b>Digital Identity: Bringing Transparency to the News Enterprise</b> <p>As our lives are increasingly virtual, from the construction of our news and information to our social networks, our digital signatures -- of usernames, emails and links to personal profiles -- are inadequate to the task of bringing context to our virtual conversations, posts and other content. This session examines the questions of anonymity and transparency as reporters, bloggers, citizen journalists and contributors in this virtual world and proposes a model and system for bringing transparency via detailed, formatted multimedia data. Will transparency aid in bringing understanding and meaning to online exchanges? Will transparency aid in helping people find others with shared interests? Will the idea of "expert knowledge" change as "situational knowledge" of events and people becomes valued? What impact does situational knowledge have on the news enterprise? Convenor: Dr. Michelle Ferrier, Digital Identity Project/MyTopiaCafe.com Online Community managing editor; michelle@michelleferrier.com.

			==== Using a wiki for journalistic collaboration: five years of experience with SourceWatch ====

			Launched in 2003, [http://www.sourcewatch.org Sourcewatch.org] runs on the same software as Wikipedia but has come to operate on somewhat different editorial rules. It employs several paid editors who provide professional oversight and encourage adherence to standards for referencing and documenting information. Sourcewatch also focuses on topics that are often more inherently controversial than Wikipedia, such as documenting deceptive public relations campaigns by corporations and governments. Sourcewatch creator Sheldon Rampton will talk about some of the issues that they've faced and lessons learned. He will also talk about some of the projects that are part of Sourcewatch, including [http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Congresspedia Congresspedia] (an encyclopedia of the U.S. Congress), [http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Portal:Tobacco Tobaccowiki] (a collection of articles about the tobacco industry, based on the Legacy archive of tobacco industry documents), [http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Portal:Coal_Issues CoalSwarm] (information about the coal industry); a [http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Portal:Front_groups front groups portal] (a collaboration with Consumer Reports WebWatch); and the [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Superdelegate_Transparency_Project Superdelegate Transparency Project] (a Congresspedia collaboration with several other groups including LiteraryOutpost.com, OpenLeft, DemConWatch, and the Huffington Post's OfftheBus project). Convenor: Sheldon Rampton, research director, [http://www.prwatch.org Center for Media and Democracy], sheldon@prwatch.org

			==== Making the data in Congresspedia more available for mashups ====

			Congresspedia is a section on Sourcewatch devoted to providing detailed information about each member of the U.S. congress as well as information about congressional committees, legislation and hearings. This presentation will consisting of a brief overview of Congresspedia and the information it contains on members of Congress, followed by brainstorming and discussion about ways to make that data available and useful to other journalists. Convenor: Sheldon Rampton, research director, [http://www.prwatch.org Center for Media and Democracy], sheldon@prwatch.org

			==== Lessons from the Superdelegate Transparency Project ====

			Each week, the Center for Media and Democracy announces a new "featured participatory project" inviting citizen journalists to help research and edit content on Sourcewatch. The most successful of these projects has been the [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Superdelegate_Transparency_Project Superdelegate Transparency Project] (STP), which collects information about the Democratic Party superdelegates who may cast the deciding votes to determine whether Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama becomes the Democratic presidential nominee. This session will explain how STP got organized, why it has been successful, and some of the techniques used (such as a public "barn raising" day) to recruit and assist citizen journalists. Convenor: Sheldon Rampton, research director, [http://www.prwatch.org Center for Media and Democracy], sheldon@prwatch.org
