Wrapup thoughts
- Greg Favre, Poynter -- "What I hope we don't lose is the passion to make the change."
- Bob Steele, Poynter -- "I am actually astonished at the depth and the scope."
Next steps
- Charlotte Hall, Orlando Sentinel -- "This has been an enlightening experience for me. .. It show to me the kind of synergy we need to have to make this happen. We really are talking about democracy. A lot of newsrooms are a little depressed, we have had a terrible summer. This gives us the passion to go foward. This involves the nation's youth. ... I am surprised, stunned at how far we have gotten in not even two days . . . what I see now is we need to go forward and try to refine some of these ideas." .... "I would say another key word for this whole experience is hope."
- Rex Smith -- "This is not the last conversation we are going to have about this." Thanks to Poynter. "We really have in our hands something that I think really makes a difference for democracy ... it's a pretty important task and it will far exceed the limited tenure Charlotte and I will have with ASNE. ... you all will hear from us."
- Kelly McBride -- "I could spend 100% of my time just making sure that we followup on the great ideas and not letting something die has become my job -- not letting journalism die. So I guess I would ask that each of you help Rex and Charlotte and me and ASNE and Poynter not to let these things die. Let's given them birth. They are great ideas and we could not have come with them if we were not all sitting in the room together."
