We're creating a framework
We're creating a framework -- a conceptual mashup -- for journalists, technologists and entrepreneurs and others to convene groups over one to three days. These groups can invent, share and pursue ideas, projects, systems or solutions for sustaining journalism that matters in a connected world. You can get a feel for the process we're planning by reading this page. Format details won't be settled until closer to April 30. But we're already posting definite breakout topics.

PRELIMINARY AGENDA
Wednesday, April 30, 2008: Setting the Context
Purpose: Who’s here and what do we need to know to have a productive time together?
2:00pm Registration
3:00-6:00pm
- Welcome from organizers
- Meeting intentions
- Who is in the room?
- Newsroom Maps (a short course in journalism and democracy)
6:00-7:00pm Dinner
7:00-8:30pm A short course in key emerging technologies
Thursday: Possibilities Day: What ideas shall we explore?
Purpose: To explore a wide range of possibilities at the intersection of journalism and technology
- Organizing question: What can we create at the intersection of journalism and technology to support the well-being of democracy?
8:30-9:00am Continental breakfast
9:00–5:00pm Open Space will be used to organize this time. Here is the page with Proposed Topics
noon-1 p.m. -- Buffet lunch with check-in discussion/announcements about morning breakouts and convenings.
1 p.m.-1:30 p.m. -- Networking time.
1:30 p.m.-5 p.m. -- First Open Space period. Participants who have posted " Pre-convening topics can announce and conduct their work plans for Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.
6:00-8:00pm Hosted Dinner off-site and Untalent Show
Friday: Design-Build Day: What’s your next step?
Purpose: To provide space for taking action on initiatives which have life beyond this event
9:00-3:00pm
- Marketplace of ideas
Each project gets 2 minutes to explain their initiative. If you wish to run a session all day, we suggest chunking the time so that people interested in a specific aspect know when it will be discussed.
- Organize the agenda for design-build discussions in real time (Note: those coming with initiatives are welcome to make those sessions known in advance)
3:00-4:00pm Closing reflection
Saturday: Project work continued (optional)
Purpose: Provide the time and space to 1) take the work further and 2) share it with others
Open to anyone (Invite hackers to come)
9:00-noon
- Organize the agenda for design-build discussions in real time
- Closing: projects who want to present can do so in in a "JournoExpo" organized by the Northern California Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ).
Journalism That Matters background
This approach -- linking journalists with a constituent group with a
focus on a paticular task -- is simlar to five other convenings around
the country as the Journalism That Matters collaborative, the most
recent at The George Washington University in August. There our focus
was on journalism and education, because we deliberately chose a time
and venue alongside the annual convention of the Association of
Educators in Journalism and Mass Communications (AEJMC).

Valley, Yahoo roles
The news business is now being driven more than anything by technology, and that's why the Journalism That Matters collaborative and the Media Giraffe Project choose to locate this event in Silicon Valley, seeking to involve the leadership of the venture-capital, entrepreneurial and technology/developer communities. Yahoo! is a participating sponsor in order to help convene a dialog about the future of journalism and participatory democracy.
