==WHAT WE’LL DO== <br />
This is not a conference, or a summit. It’s a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress <i>congress,</i>] of news and information service providers -- organized by U.S. state press associations and the Reynolds Institute, an ideas-experiments-research center affiliated with the Missouri School of Journalism, the nation’s oldest and near-largest. In this ultra-fast-moving information ecosystem, we have two intentions:<br />
<h3><br />
*Consider establishing a [http://www.journalismtrust.org non-profit collaborative] that will specify standards, platforms and protocols for a digital information marketplace; supporting investment and partnering with operating companies and,<br />
*Define and start raising money for an [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/andac operating company or association] that answers to, and primarily serves and benefits, all America's newspapers -- and is focused on profitably sharing, protecting and managing their digital content.</h3><br />
<br />
[[Image:Rji-comfort.jpg|400px|thumb|left|]]<br />
You can arrive on Wednesday afternoon, or Thursday afternoon, and we’ll wrap up Friday afternoon, with optional additional research discussions or solution-provider briefings on Saturday morning. Over three days you will: <br />
<ul><ul><br />
*Hear and comment on Thursday's first-public unveiling of a business plan for a news-industry hub for sharing users, information and commerce. The [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/andac American Newspaper Digital Access Corp. (ANDAC)] will solve current problems for newspapers. It’s the inspiration of the [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Jta-associations Multistate Digital Task Force] -- a seed group of publishers from Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. <br />
<br />
*Help frame the structure, governance and mission of the [http://www.infotrust.org Information Trust Association (ITA)] a facilitator of trust, identity and information commerce on the Internet and mobile networks.<br />
<br />
*Share ideas with some of the brightest minds in Internet law, copyright, technology, social networking, commerce, government and advertising about the ITA’s value, roles and limits, and how it will support enterprises like ANDAC.<br />
<br />
*Call or join ad-hoc break-out sessions aimed at fostering ideas, experiments and solutions with the potential to sustain the values, principles and purposes of journalism in new or legacy forms. <br />
<br />
*Share unstructured break time for ad-hoc collaboration in one of the many meeting rooms at the Reynolds Journalism Institute, or at one of the many restaurants and nightspots adjacent to campus.<br />

It’s a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress <i>congress,</i>] of news and information service providers -- organized by U.S. state press associations and the Reynolds Institute, an ideas-experiments-research center affiliated with the Missouri School of Journalism, the nation’s oldest and near-largest. In this ultra-fast-moving information ecosystem, we have two intentions:<br />
<h3><br />
*Consider establishing a [http://www.journalismtrust.org non-profit collaborative] that will specify standards, platforms and protocols for a digital information marketplace; supporting investment and partnering with operating companies and,<br />
*Define and start raising money for an [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/andac operating company or association] that answers to, and primarily serves and benefits, all America's newspapers -- and is focused on profitably sharing, protecting and managing their digital content.</h3><br />
<br />
[[Image:Rji-comfort.jpg|400px|thumb|left|]]<br />
You can arrive on Wednesday afternoon, or Thursday afternoon, and we’ll wrap up Friday afternoon, with optional additional research discussions or solution-provider briefings on Saturday morning. Over three days you will: <br />
<ul><ul><br />
*Hear and comment on Thursday's first-public unveiling of a business plan for a news-industry hub for sharing users, information and commerce. The [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/andac American Newspaper Digital Access Corp. (ANDAC)] will solve current problems for newspapers. It’s the inspiration of the [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Jta-associations Multistate Digital Task Force] -- a seed group of publishers from Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. <br />
<br />
*Help frame the structure, governance and mission of the [http://www.infotrust.org Information Trust Association (ITA)] a facilitator of trust, identity and information commerce on the Internet and mobile networks.<br />
<br />
*Share ideas with some of the brightest minds in Internet law, copyright, technology, social networking, commerce, government and advertising about the ITA’s value, roles and limits, and how it will support enterprises like ANDAC.<br />
<br />
*Call or join ad-hoc break-out sessions aimed at fostering ideas, experiments and solutions with the potential to sustain the values, principles and purposes of journalism in new or legacy forms. <br />
<br />
*Share unstructured break time for ad-hoc collaboration in one of the many meeting rooms at the Reynolds Journalism Institute, or at one of the many restaurants and nightspots adjacent to campus.<br />
</ul></ul><br />
<br />
==WHO SHOULD ATTEND== <br />
<br />
Among people most likely to benefit from participating are: State press association directors, newspaper and other media and telecom executives, producers, journalists, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, technologists, public-policy activists, bankers and – citizens! “From Blueprint to Building: Making the Market for Digital Information,” is a public event. All discussions will be “on the record.” / [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Infotrust-vendors (A WORD ABOUT VENDORS.)]<br />
<br />
The Information Trust Association and the new Multistate Digital Marketplace Service Corp. (working title) are both likely to be guided by boards broadly representative of their constituencies. If you are ready to be considered for service, you should join us in Missouri.<br />

<h1>“From Blueprint to Building: Making the Market for Digital Information"</h1><br />
<big><i>An action congress for trust, identity and Internet information commerce serving newspapers and beyond</i></big><br><br />
<big><b>June 23-25, 2010 / Reynolds Journalism Institute / Columbia, Mo.</b></big><BR><br />
<br />
==PLANS TO ACTION==<br />
<BIG>Eighteen months ago, about 60 people gathered on the American prairie and set out to describe a [http://www.ivpblueprint.org blueprint for a new information economy] that would be based upon [http://newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Jta-trust trust, identity and commerce.] On June 24, at that same prairie meeting spot, some of them will start building it. <br />
<br />
Do you want to be among the 80 founders, architects and builders? You're invited. Come to “From Blueprint to Building: Making the Market for Digital Information,” Wed.-Fri. June 23-25 at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute in Columbia, Mo. </BIG><br />
<br />

==WHAT WE’LL DO== <br />
[[Image:Rji-comfort.jpg|300px|thumb|left|]]<br />
This is not a conference, or a summit. It’s a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress <i>congress,</i>] of news and information service providers -- organized by U.S. state press associations and the Reynolds Institute, an ideas-experiments-research center affiliated with the Missouri School of Journalism, the nation’s oldest and near-largest. In this ultra-fast-moving information ecosystem, we have two intentions:<br />
<h2><br />
*Consider establishing a non-profit collaborative that will specify standards, platforms and protocols for a digital information marketplace; supporting investment and partnering with operating companies and,<br />
*Define and start raising money for an operating company or association that answers to, and primarily serves and benefits, all America's newspapers -- and is focused on profitably sharing, protecting and managing their digital content.</h2><br />
<br />
You can arrive on Wednesday afternoon, or Thursday afternoon, and we’ll wrap up Friday afternoon, with optional additional research discussions or solution-provider briefings on Saturday morning. Over three days you will: <br />
<ul><br />
*Hear and comment on Thursday's first-public unveiling of a business plan for a news-industry hub for sharing users, information and commerce. The [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/andac American Newspaper Digital Access Corp. (ANDAC)] will solve current problems for newspapers. It’s the inspiration of the [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Jta-associations Multistate Digital Task Force] -- a seed group of publishers from Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. <br />
<br />
*Help frame the structure, governance and mission of the [http://www.infotrust.org Information Trust Association (ITA)] a facilitator of trust, identity and information commerce on the Internet and mobile networks.<br />
<br />
*Share ideas with some of the brightest minds in Internet law, copyright, technology, social networking, commerce, government and advertising about the ITA’s value, roles and limits, and how it will support enterprises like ANDAC.<br />
<br />
*Call or join ad-hoc break-out sessions aimed at fostering ideas, experiments and solutions with the potential to sustain the values, principles and purposes of journalism in new or legacy forms. <br />
<br />
*Share unstructured break time for ad-hoc collaboration in one of the many meeting rooms at the Reynolds Journalism Institute, or at one of the many restaurants and nightspots adjacent to campus.<br />
</ul><br />
<br />
==WHO SHOULD ATTEND== <br />
<br />
Among people most likely to benefit from participating are: State press association directors, newspaper and other media and telecom executives, producers, journalists, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, technologists, public-policy activists, bankers and – citizens! “From Blueprint to Building: Making the Market for Digital Information,” is a public event. All discussions will be “on the record.” / [http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Infotrust-vendors (A WORD ABOUT VENDORS.)]<br />
<br />
The Information Trust Association and the new Multistate Digital Marketplace Service Corp. (working title) are both likely to be guided by boards broadly representative of their constituencies. If you are ready to be considered for service, you should join us in Missouri.<br />

<div>State presentation<br />
<br />
Good morning. And thank you to the XXX Association for inviting me here today to tell you about an exciting project that I hope you want to be part of. I want you to know that I’m also here today to get your ideas and comments, so I’ve left plenty of time at the end of this presentation to hear what you have to say.<br />
<br />
Now I’ve planned literally hundreds of sessions like this in my career at the INA and I know that our members sometimes complain that the speaker did not know his audience. Our members sometimes complain that the speaker’s message was “just for the dailies” or just for the weeklies”.<br />
<br />
I want to make it clear that I know something about my audience today and I believe what I have to say will affect every newspaper in this room in some way sooner or later…and it may be sooner rather than later.<br />
It’s been a very long time since I sat in a large college lecture hall and endured that required course called Econ 101. But I do remember learning about the law of supply and demand. It strikes me that in the history of the planet there has never been more demand for information. That bodes well for newspapers since they have long been the medium that has provided more information to more consumers than any other. However, there also has never been a greater supply of information than now...thanks to the Internet. <br />
The challenge for newspapers is to continue to position themselves in the information market as the primary provider of reliable, trusted information. <br />
I also know that no newspaper in any state…daily or weekly…group or privately owned…has found the secret formula for competing for revenue electronically even though most of the owners of our newspapers understand that more of their cherished readers every day are getting their news online.<br />
<br />
Dailies and some weeklies know this because they’ve seen their paid circulation decrease even as their readership has increased. Some of this decline has been self-inflicted as readers have gone to the newspapers’ web sites to read the news rather than paying for it. Newspapers offering free content on their websites are in a catch 22 situation. They know they have to have more and more eyeballs and click-throughs to attract online advertisers and one way to do this is to offer compelling local news coverage free of charge. But the more they go in this direction, the more they see long-time loyal subscribers deciding they no longer must pay for the news. These papers are looking for answers.<br />
<br />
Even more problematic are small daily or weekly newspapers that aren’t looking for answers because they don’t think the Internet is a threat to their future since they have penetration numbers that larger newspapers envy. In both of our states, there are weeklies that reach over 90 percent of the households in their markets. Why would these publishers want to start developing a new business plan?<br />
<br />
Well, maybe they should be thinking about a different way of doing business because they could save a great deal of money on printing and postage costs which are only going to increase markedly in the future. <br />
<br />
Or maybe they should consider a new business plan because rouge competitors are already setting up electronic competition that these newspapers may not even know about.<br />
<br />
When you go home, go to this URL and see if this competitor, and others like it, is moving in on your newspaper’s turf. <br />
<br />
www.Americantowns.com <br />
<br />
Once there, find your community. You’ll see a website aimed right at your readers. Even though this website is not presently providing the breadth and depth of coverage you provide, it is establishing a framework to chip away at the finite advertising budgets of your local advertisers and it could succeed…but only if you let it.<br />
<br />
In the past, we’ve watched as the music industry cried foul when people were putting songs on the Internet for other people to download and enjoy for free. The music industry objected to that practice and those objections were valid. The industry had paid for the creation, performance and distribution of the music and was powerless to keep users from ripping it off from Internet websites like Napster and others.<br />
<br />
A few court cases later, and following the invention of new technology like iTunes, the problem was well on its way to being solved. Now those who created the content are getting a share of the revenue from online purchases. They have no manufacturing or distribution expenses to pay so they can afford to accept less and still make a profit.<br />
<br />
Does any of this sound familiar?<br />
<br />
While the Internet has created huge business opportunities it has also destroyed a portion of the traditional monetary underpinnings newspapers have depended upon to fund the gathering of information. Digital files created and owned by a newspaper can be placed so rapidly into the public domain that the ability to derive full value from the product is directly diminished. Products and services are created daily which seek to take that content for their own commercial purposes, paying the source newspaper pennies, if anything at all. <br />
<br />
The newspaper industry now faces the same challenges that once faced the music industry. Newspapers hire reporters, pay for expensive reportage, pay for print and online distribution of the news content they have created only to see that same content used by people they’ve never met. People who run websites that generate subscriber and/or ad revenues that go only to the poachers of this expensive and compelling newspaper content. <br />
<br />
There’s a growing outrage among publishers who have said they’re mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore.<br />
<br />
It was that publisher frustration that has spawned a new multi-state publisher grass-roots effort to help newspapers monetize the Internet by collecting, digitizing and marketing newspaper content. On November 20, 35 publishers and representatives of state, regional and nation newspaper organizations met at a meeting in Kansas City hosted by the Kansas City Star to discuss steps to take to address this problem. <br />
<br />
For several months prior to that meeting, a Multi-State Digital Task Force made up of publishers from Kansas, Missouri and Iowa had been discussing this idea. The Nov. 20 Task Force meeting was a facilitated discussion where all other newspaper associations were invited to attend, observe and weigh in with their thoughts.<br />
<br />
The Task Force has concluded that it is imperative that publishers begin to discuss the possibility of forming a new, for-profit company “that collects, stores, digitizes, protects and markets newspaper content”. The mission of this corporation would be to provide news organizations with a means to digitize and archive their content for research, historical and commercial purposes. <br />
<br />
In short, the Task Force believes that newspapers can leverage their collective power to create a substantial competitive advantage in the information marketplace.<br />
<br />
People are increasingly moving their lives on-line, and the newspaper industry is still searching for a viable model to monetize the distribution of content in an electronic world. Demand is not the problem – people want news. The problem is capturing sufficient value from that demand.<br />
<br />
By collectivizing content through state press associations, controlled by YOU…the news organizations they serve, the Task Force believes publishers can regain control of the distribution, resale and reuse of newspaper information, while deriving additional value from offsetting the costs associated with producing a physical newspaper. The industry as a whole will have market leverage beyond what would be possible for a single newspaper, press association or newspaper group. The Task Force thinks the state press associations are the logical organizations to move this effort forward since almost every newspaper in America belongs to its state association and all state associations are controlled by the newspapers they serve. Integration of content through state press associations could lead to substantial benefits for all involved parties. <br />
<br />
The primary function of the new company would be to create a central collection point for the receipt of royalties derived from reused content. The technology now exists to allow the tracking of all content posted on a newspaper website but used on a content pirate’s website without the permission of the newspaper and without the paying of royalties. The new company would create a way for anyone wanting to reuse newspaper content to do so legally by paying for it…or facing possible legal action. The company also would create a system to track and distribute royalties to all participating newspapers.<br />
<br />
But the task force believes there would be many other compelling reasons to create this company. Once the technology to accomplish our primary mission is in place, many other opportunities are created to help newspapers.<br />
<br />
---How many people here think public notice advertising in newspapers is at risk? This new company could provide state press associations with ability to upload public notices to statewide public notice websites within days rather than weeks to protect the future of these notices in newspapers. Every state is now facing the threat of having public notices moved from newspapers to government-controlled websites. In legislative battle after battle around the nation, it has been shown that states with comprehensive, up-to-date public notice websites have successfully used those websites to defeat bad public notice legislation. The problem with most state press association public notice websites is two-fold. <br />
First, in most cases, newspapers are asked to regularly upload their public notices to the association website. Not all papers can do this and…<br />
Second, the uploads that are done are erratic resulting in websites with old, incomplete content…hardly a deterrent to bad legislation.<br />
The technology exists today to have 100% of the notices of all newspapers in a state posted within 48-72 hours after publication without any work on the part of any newspaper.<br />
<br />
---How many here would like to see payments from your state’s ad service paid more quickly? Another potential benefit of this company would be the ability of press association ad services to obtain electronic tear sheets within a few days of publication to make our ad services more viable and speed payment to newspapers. State press association ad services have always faced significant problems in their efforts to send publishers timely payment for advertising they’ve sold. <br />
Most states pay their member papers once they’ve been paid by the advertiser. Billing can’t take place until all tearsheets have been located and collected for billing. Far too often, ads run on days other than the day on the insertion order, or they do not run at all. This causes an unnecessary billing delay and an unneeded expenditure of association dollars for labor and phone calls to track down the ad and obtain the missing tear sheets for billing purposes.<br />
Other states have agreements with their members to pre-pay for the ads they’ve sold before they collect from the advertiser. In addition to the problems I’ve previously referenced, these states either have to spend association members’ money on operating loan interest expense or commit the use of other association funds to these payments rather than allowing them to earn interest.<br />
The technology currently exists to generate electronic tear sheets within a few days after publication. This would greatly speed up the billing process and, in turn, allow state associations to send members their money sooner.<br />
<br />
---Still another benefit would be the ability of newspapers to have the option to create low-cost, word-searchable morgues and archives. Think of this service as a Google without all the false leads to sources that contain unedited and inaccurate information. This service would allow reporters to search their own archives and the archives of other participating newspapers to get information on subjects those papers have written about in the past. But unlike Google, all of this information would have been produced by newspapers that have taken great care to make sure it is accurate and not libelous.<br />
<br />
We are now in the process of developing a business plan to see how such a company would operate. While details are yet to be developed, at this point the consensus is that the corporation would sell stock to news organizations, associations and individuals who have an interest in helping our industry to solve the problem of content control. <br />
<br />
The critical operating principles of this corporation would include:<br />
---Respect for copyright laws and aggressive pursuit of violators<br />
---Mutually beneficial royalties and profit sharing<br />
---Historic preservation<br />
---Efficient and effective newspaper participation<br />
---Easy customer user access and<br />
---Scalability to be able to help newspapers of all sizes.<br />
<br />
The market for the re-sale of newspaper information would include…<br />
1. Newspapers-In a day of smaller news staffs and a push to localize all information, an archive of both weekly and daily newspapers would be valuable. The archive should also contain past issues, giving any reporter the ability to quickly research any subject. <br />
2. Clipping services<br />
3. Advertising tear sheets<br />
4. Individual stories by subject<br />
5. Genealogist and research historians<br />
6. On-line news aggregators<br />
<br />
I retired at the end of 2009 after serving as executive director of the Iowa Newspaper Association for 29 years. I’ve been hired as an independent contractor (at 1/10th of my former salary) to facilitate development of a business plan for presentation to the Task Force this spring. You might wonder why I would want to take on a project like this with a 90% pay cut. I’m convinced that publishers can and must figure out a way to work together to make sure they are fairly compensated for the content they produce. Over the past three decades I’ve seen countless examples of the power of newspapers working together for the common good. I feel honored to have been asked by the Task Force and my press association manager peers to take this on. My compensation level was my idea. I’m thrilled just to be just a part of this.<br />
<br />
In the coming months, I will be talking to groups like this one explain our project and to ask for your ideas on how this should work. I’ll also be talking to interested vendors who have already invented technology that addresses part of the solution we’re trying to develop. There’s no use re-inventing the wheel if a qualified vendor partner can help us solve this problem. <br />
<br />
For example…<br />
<br />
---Associated Press has a plan for protecting online content. They call it Protect, Point, Pay. In simple terms, AP has developed a way to enable any newspaper to track where every online piece of content goes and who is using it without authorization, collect royalties for the use of the content, then pay newspapers royalties. Two representatives from AP were at the November Task Force meeting in Kansas City and AP has expressed an interest in being a part of the solution we’re searching for. This year, AP will launch a pilot project with non-AP weeklies in Iowa.<br />
<br />
---Other states have been working on a variety of ways to skin this cat. If it makes sense to incorporate some of their better ideas into a group solution, we will do that.<br />
<br />
---A fellow at the University of Missouri’s Reynolds Journalism Institute has expressed great interested in working with the Task Force to develop a solution utilizing a start-up company he has founded.<br />
<br />
---GeoTel, a company with a long history of operating clipping services in 14 states, and now offering the Cadillac public notice website operation for state press associations, is keenly interested in being a partner in this effort if the Task Force agrees.<br />
<br />
And there are others.<br />
<br />
But the key to success will be control of this company by newspapers who will have controlling membership on the board of directors. In that sense, this company is quite similar to advertising services operated by state press associations. In every state press association ad service, association members set the policies, determine the percentage of sales income to be sent to newspaper and control the budgets of these services. The same would be the case for this company.<br />
<br />
How will this effort be funded? That will be determined by the board of directors of the new corporation. For now, several individuals and state press associations have contributed money to the project to enable us to get to the point where we’ve developed a business plan. <br />
<br />
After a full day of facilitated discussions at the November Task Force meeting in Kansas City, the question of funding the creation of the business plan was put on the table. One publisher said she felt so strongly about the effort that she would contribute $5,000 of her own money. A second individual said he would do the same. Other $5,000 pledges came immediately from the Iowa Newspaper Foundation, the Missouri Press Association and the Kansas Press Association. That initial $25,000 was raised in less than two minutes. Since then, other press associations have indicated they want to help. The Minnesota Press Association made a $1,000 contribution in January after I talked with their board in December. We have no present plans to do a formal fund-raising campaign until we develop a business plan. But in the spirit of full disclosure, it might interest you to know that it’s the intention of the Task Force to convert every dollar of contributions received before that formal campaign is launched to $10 worth of stock in the new corporation should the business plan be adopted and the new corporation formed.<br />
<br />
What are the odds we’ll succeed?<br />
<br />
I’m no gambler, but I do know we have some major obstacles ahead of us. There are plenty of people who say we’ll fail. Many newspapers are unaware of the present and future threat to their franchise posed by poachers of their print and online copy. And even if we all agreed that creating a publisher-controlled company to deal with this challenge is essential, the politics and mechanics of making it happen would be daunting to say the least.<br />
<br />
But the members of the Task Force and the individuals and states who have contributed funds without even being asked to do so believe it is the mission of state press associations to TRY to solve the problem rather than merely sitting on the sidelines and watching content pirates profit from the unauthorized use of our members’ content.<br />
<br />
The thing we must always remember is that content is the newspapers’ trump card. Nobody can gather complex information and arrange it in a way that it can be easily understood by the average seventh grader the way we can. That’s a key competitive advantage we have that no other medium can touch.<br />
<br />
Anyone can devise a way to deliver information electronically…Just look at the overwhelming number of players on the Internet.<br />
<br />
But very few information sources can guarantee readers that the information they provide is quality information. That is, it has been gathered by reporters who know how to ferret out information and ask pertinent questions to the right people to interpret the information. <br />
<br />
It is information that has been fact-checked and edited.<br />
<br />
It is information that will soon be gathered and then disseminated to individuals…not households…in a form that meets the needs of each reader in a unique manner. <br />
<br />
What’s missing in today’s marketplace is a way to enable newspapers to protect that content and to profit when others reuse it. In my opinion, that vacuum will be filled in the near future. Some inventive outsider will either fill it or it will be filled by publishers who have realized that they need to work together to solve this problem. And while it won’t be an easy problem to solve, the alternative of allowing a non-newspaper entity to dictate policy and financial terms to newspaper is simply not acceptable.<br />
<br />
<br />
I’d now like to open this up to hear your questions and comments. I can promise you that your input will be taken seriously and reported to the Task force.<br />

<big><b>It's called JTM DETROIT: CREATE OR DIE! INNOVATE, INCUBATE, INITIATE. It is from Thursday, June 3 through Sunday, June 6, 2010 at Wayne State University.</b> [To register: https://www.123signup.com/event?id=mfptz <b>REGISTER NOW]</b></big><br />
<br />
Right now, no one has figured out how to sustainably make money telling stories on the internet. In this way, all of us are just as smart (or just as stupid) as Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, the Google Founders or all modern titans of the Information Age. We are all starting from scratch.<br />
<br />
If you have every been frustrated; wondering why can't I or my fellow association members ever get in on the ground floor of "the next big thing" or be a fly on the wall when the "big ideas" are discussed, this is your chance! CREATE OR DIE will include a rare, unique collection of journalists, technology experts, civic activists, and venture capitalists/business people all under one roof. It is the first conference to include the three major expert categories to launch a new media company. Maybe yours!<br />
<br />
<br />
In JTM DETROIT's open forum format, you can come with only questions, only answers or both! It does not matter. The point is to find like-minded individuals who see the changing journalism and media landscape and want to do something. <br />
<br />
<br />
For example, if you have a question about or need to find a software programmer to design or build your web site or blog, you can find them. Conversely, if you have a talent for designing or marketing digital-based systems, you can find journalists with tons of content ideas. And if you are a terrific salesperson or an expert grant or business plan writer and a magnificent manager, you will find people who are passionate about their work with constant a-ha moments.<br />
<br />
<br />
<big><b><u>So come to Detroit from Thursday, June 3 through Sunday, June 6, 2010!</u></b><br />
<br></big><br />
<br />
<br />
Motown is a historic, global city like no other. The Detroit Tigers will play baseball. The Red Wings will (hopefully) be in the hockey playoffs. Detroit Metro Airport is a Delta hub with nonstop flights to and from New York, LA, Miami, Paris, Tokyo, etc. The Motor City is an arts and technology mecca; home to the Detroit Institute of Art, the largest African-American museum - The Wright Museum, The Detroit Science Center, The Motown Museum, The Fox Theatre and many more attractions a short distance away from Wayne State. Finally, Detroit is the only major city where you can have lunch in another country (Canada) faster than ordering pizza.<br />
<br />
==AN INVITATION AND ALL INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION LINKS ARE BELOW.==<br />
<br />
Look forward to seeing everyone here in Detroit! Get in on the action!<br><br />
<br />
Best,<br><br />

==JTM DETROIT: CREATE OR DIE! INNOVATE, INCUBATE, INITIATE<br>INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION==<br />
<br />
How can we reshape journalism so that it engages and serves all people & communities?<br />
<br />
<br />
Innovate. Incubate. Initiate.<br />
<br />
<br />
The media landscape is changing – creating space for innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration.<br />
<br />
<br />
JTM especially invites persons of color -- journalists, entrepreneurs, programmers, technologists, bloggers, videographers, venture capitalists, artists, funders, educators and all who have an interest -- to explore how voices often unheard or misrepresented can reshape the future of journalism. <br />
<br />
<br />
This focused, June 3 to 6 unconference for results-driven, action-oriented participants will discover, assess, shape and create forward-looking initiatives focused on key elements of community -- diversity, shared values, participation and developing youth. Be part of a design, build, pitch collaboratory for shaping the next communications businesses, tools, services, and policies that amplify diverse voices.<br />
<br />
<br />
The evolving relationship between news and technology provide a great opportunity for innovation. We will explore the intersections of storytelling, art, technology and culture that are changing the practice and products of journalism. Through the unconference format, we will create the space for you to bring your ideas, knowledge and enthusiasm, find partners, and coaches, and take your work to its next level.<br />
<br />
You need to be part of the conversation. Don’t let this moment pass without taking action. Whether you are a part of a legacy media organization or an individual ready to create something on your own, this conference will create a space for energy and action.<br />
<br />
===WHAT WE'LL ACHIEVE===<br />
<br />
New and unexpected cross-sector collaborations Broadening a community of practice among people who care about journalism innovation Nurture and develop journalism entrepreneurship especially for underserved communities and people of color Learn from stories of successful projects Discover and engage financial/funding sources to seed new projects<br />
<br />
===WHY THIS FOCUS NOW?===<br />
<br />
Journalism is at a crossroads. For nearly 50 years, American journalism was financed by a historically unprecedented consumer-driven economy. This put pressure on editors, producers and reporters to focus on mainstream audiences attractive to advertisers. Cable television, and now the Internet, have made it economically feasible to profitably market to niche communities. For the first time, poor, ethnic and disadvantaged communities and under-represent constituencies of all economic strata are no longer too marginal to serve. Diverse constituencies must seize the opportunity to innovate with technology and services, legacy media must learn to include these new, niche audiences. Both creators and consumers die -- figuratively, they lose influence or visibility -- unless they understand the need to diversify.<br />
<br />
<br />
At this moment in history when the news and information needs of communities are being re-invented, just a small percentage of funding is going directly to people of color for projects related to underrepresented populations. According to a J-Lab study on grant-funded news and information, of $128 million, about 10 percent or $12 million went to one project called New America Media, which encompasses the most funding to ethnic media.<br />
<br />
<br />
What will enable unheard or misrepresented voices to find their place the changing landscape? We wish to take advantage of the opportunities created by the disintegrating media infrastructure to create new forms of media that are more relevant to the lives of communities of color. Across the nation, dozens of citizens are experimenting with new forms of local, web-based journalism and community building. Our intent is to ensure the vitality of “journalism that matters” to serve a diverse public.<br />
<br />
<br />
So join us in a place of imagination, exploration and creation from June 3-6, 2010 at Wayne State University in Detroit.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Craig Newmark to visit Columbia, Mo., April 6; RJI-Mizzou provides venue to converse with students== <br />
<br />
Perhaps no single venture spawned by the Internet is more controversial among journalists than Craigslist, the simple, online organizer of local help-wanted, housing and for-sale classifieds. Doggedly private about its finances, Craigslist had revenues estimated at $100 million last year because of the few places and categories where it does charge.<br />
<br><br />
While Craigslist’s negative impact on traditional newspapers is unequivocal, the influence of its founder on the future of journalism is far more nuanced. Craig A. Newmark, serves on the advisory board of Newstrust.net, the Sunlight Foundation, the Center for Public Integrity; he is on the board of Consumers Union, he helped fund or start NewAssignment.net and Spot.us. He speaks and blogs frequently about the essential role of watchdog journalism. <br />
<br><br />
On Tues., April 6, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. , faculty and students of the Missouri School of Journalism will have a chance to hear, assess, and question those nuances during “A Conversation with Craig,” in the Fred W. Smith Forum at RJI. <br />
<br><br />
Newmark will be in Columbia for two days as the guest of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. He asked for an audience with Mizzou journalism students and RJI has agreed to provide the venue. Questioning Newmark, and facilitating questions from students, will be Bill Densmore, 2008-2009 Reynolds Fellow and co-founder of CircLabs Inc., a university-backed spin-off of his Information Valet Project. <br />
<br><br />
Seats in the Smith Forum, and a chance to question Newmark, are being reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, with a priority given to journalism graduate -- and then undergraduate -- students. To reserve a seat, email your request, as well as suggested questions, to [mailto:densmorew@rjionline.org densmore@rjionline.org].

<br />
<i>Venture capitalist Alan Veeck is leading today's session set up this way: Six round tables assembled in Room 100-A of the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.</i><br />
<br />
==THE PRESENTATIONS==<br />
<big>After a morning culling ideas, and two hours honing a presentation, six groups now present their proposals.</big><br />
<br />
<br />
==TEAM FIVE: The Perfect Calendar==<br />
''Presented by Marty Steffens, Jim Price and Jeff Vander Clute''<br><br />
<br />
[http://www.newshare.com/rji/rji-cdig-perfect-calendar.pdf VIEW SLIDE DECK (pdf)]<br><br />
<br />
"Harnessing the power of local media." Extending the calendar application. It uses your already familiar application, like iCalendar, your Exchange or Entourage or Google calendar, and will populate it with things that will help you spend your day smarter, partner with your local news organization to give you the news that matters, be aware of local civic events, receive local and national ads. <br />
<br />
*Consumer in control -- adjust privacy settings to your level of comfort. <br />
<br />
*Key milestones .... many components already exist <br />
<br />
*Register PerfectCalendar.com domain <br />
*Partners include Columbia Missourian <br />
*Work with partners<br />
*Build technology in agile fashion <br />
*Integrate with social tools like Facebook <br />
*Integration with other technologies, like Outlook and Google, iCal<br />
*Self-serve advertising modules <br />
*Deployment, with milestones for sales, sales training, consumer testing, feedback, marketing <br />
<br />
Self-service module that local newspapers can interactive with. Need knowledgeable publishers who can sell the product. Not just broadcasting but community members can upload events. <br />
<br />
One idea in version 2.0 would be a "Pandora-like" service that would tailor and make recommendations. <br />
<br />
Revenue streams: <br />
<br />
Place ... time ... and retailer specific <br />
<br />
Examples: Local coupons (merchant initiated), local coupons (crowd triggered), preferred location (need a place), classified listings. Ad day-parting. Sales reminders. Impulse-buy specials, local and national. <br />
<br />
Competitors might be Yelp and Zvents. Differentiators: Facilitation with current calendar, participation, and being able to deliver news within the calendar function.<br />
<br />
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS <br />
<br />
COMMENT: Hates the idea of advertising sending stuff into my personal calendar. ANSWER: This will be opt-in as part of your privacy settings. <br />
<br />
<br />
==TEAM SIX: NoSpam News== <br />
<br />
<i>Group consists of Ochieng Rapuro, Jonathan Friendly, Yihu (Elina) Tang, Amiri Jameel Yehia, Phil Aucutt, Peter Meng and Margaret Duffy.</i><br />
<br />
[http://www.newshare.com/rji/rji-cdig-nospamnews.pdf VIEW SLIDE DECK (pdf)]<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Like Getty Images, a large content library that people can license. <br />
<br />
*Peter Meg leads the description of NoSpam News. It uses a selected group of editors and marketing professionals using crowd sourcing techniques, to test and evaluate news stoires for quality and marketability. Customers are ad agency and corporate partners. <br />
*A global marketplace for advertisres, news organizations and corporations to purchase content and obtain real-time market data. <br />
*Uses a select qualified group of editors and marketing professionals using crowd-sourcing techniques, to test and evaluate news stores for quality and marketability. <br />
<br />
*Revenue comes from testing fees, royalties and premium-content sales. Assumption of 8000 transactions in the first year. <br />
<br />
*Competitors are traditional market research, Digg and Seed.com/Helium.com, Demand Media. They offer classic research, but that is time-consuming and costly. They work with crowd-source ranking and are an outlet for paid and edited freelanders. NoSpam News costs less, is easier t use and takes a different approach. It doesn't pay freelancers. It ensures the content is of the highest level. <br />
<br />
*Challenges and risks -- Big challenge is signing the one content partner with a large content library and then building a user base fast so as not to be out-innovated or overtaken by innovators. Also a challenge to match revenues to market-research spending through 2014. <br />
<br />
*Strategic partners sought: RJI, The McClatchy Co., Clear Channel Communications Group. <br />
<br />
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS <br />
<br />
Question about monetization: Big play is to have it an easy marketplace to get all kinds of content. A place to easily and cheaply license content rather than just ripping it off. <br />
<br />
==TEAM FOUR: Global Citizen: "Butterfly" ==<br />
<br />
<i>Team members included Jean-Raymond Naveau, Coleman Hutchins, Jim Sterling, Keith Politte, Alisa Cromer, Steven Sparkman and Washington Gikunju.</i><br />
<br />
[http://www.newshare.com/rji/rji-cdig-global-citizen.pdf VIEW SLIDE DECK (pdf)]<br><br />
<br />
A site that provides actionable news about global issues. Content comes from people, institutions, communities, corporations. "You are a global citizen and there is nothing you can do about that," says Jean-Raymond Naveau. "Butterfly provides actionable information, deeper planet possibility." <br />
<br />
Information about sustainability providers, GRI taxonomy, news, issues, innovation exchange, products, applications for monitoring local, national and international issues, transactions that allow you to engage in a feedback loop, license content receive local discounts. Benchmarking. <br />
<br />
"We realized there are really no global sources -- everyone is watching international news, but no one is looking at things on a global level, the superissues." Butterfly will have to cover 10 languages. <br />
<br />
*Market: Who are potential global citizens? Guessing that it is 36% of global internet usres is the pontential market size, people who think of themselves as "Global Citizens." <br />
<br />
*Audience is internet-connected global citizens, companies, staff, invesetors, fund managers, global-citizen related NGOs. <br />
<br />
*Management team: They seek Arianna Huffington as a sustainability expert. Angels would be alMark, World Bank, WHO and Samsung. <br />
<br />
No one out there doing this now. People are having to go to the Internet to piece together their news. (Viewing chart taken from the Pew Project on Excellence in Journalism. <br />
<br />
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS<br />
<br />
What would the three launch issues? Answer: Environment, government and climate. <br />
<br />
Will you adapt content regionally to deal with cultural differences? Try not to appear too Western. <br />
<br />
Hutchins: "We really want to stay above the national level." <br />
<br />

<br />
Turning coffee into community -- taking coffee shops and bring back a little bit of the community. Bring a young community of people who care about their communty and the world. Values are that it feeds passsion, intellectual stimulation, provides social capitall, personal image/brand. ONe step beyond Starbucks.<br />
<br />
*Target consumer: Is ages 18-34, interested in social issues and not afraid to speak out. It will be a public sphere like the old European tea salons. Young professionals, university students, socdiall-aware/curious, consumers of information, yupplies, creatives. <br />
<br />
*Vale proposition: Feeds consumer pasion, relates to personal image/self-brand, offers intellectual stimulation, provides social capital, allows for extended understanding of local and global issues. <br />
<br />
*Values statement: We value creativity and publci opinion, and support those who take the lead rather than follow from behind. <br />
<br />
*Tagline: "An open space for open minds." <br />
<br />
*Total market: $13.2 billion, 70 percent of adults drink coffee. It is 72 million people in the United States. <br />
<br />
*Key milestones: <br />
<br />
"There is a hunger to turn it into bricks and mortar." Coffee shops already make a 19% profit margin. <br />
<br />
*Revenue proejct: Francising fee of 5%; food and drink there's a 19% pargine for food and drink, also putting on events, doing media products and co-working rent. Send reporters from news organizations to hang out at coffee shops. <br />
<br />
*Business management team: Need a franchise business manager, coffee-shop business manager (relationships with coffee cources, buys and oversees distribtion of supplies, oversees development), community-engagement officer, journalistic advisor and marketing manager. Show grow from a grass roots, word-of-mouth perspective. <br />
<br />
*Competition: Biggest competition -- large franchise owners, however, Newsroom Cafe offers open, participatory. Starbucks has 11,600 stores, other competitors Dunkin Donuts, Intelligentsia, Bridgeport Coffee (Chicago).<br />
<br />
*Challenges risks: Crowded market where incumbents are making a lot of money. But can offer distinct value proposition. You come into these coffee shops expect to engage. If you want to sit alone, go to Starbucks, if you want an environment where people are like you. There has to be a culture created around special employees -- baristas are going to be journalists who blog. Need to attract young people around discussing issues that matter to them, their lives and their community. <br />
<br />
Skoler: "We don't believe that for a second, we just want to get them charged up in a great environment." <br />
<br />
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: <br />
<br />
There are "Newscafes" around United States, including one in Miami's South Beach. <br />
<br />
Answer: That will be sorted out somehow. <br />
<br />
Bill Densmore: Says we've had discussions with the owner of Miami NewsCafes. <br />
<br />
Q: Can you pay a blogging barista the wages Starbucks pays its baristas? <br />
<br />
Q: Did you think about partying with Starbucks? <br />
<br />
A: Skoler: The real model is in franchising and going up against the Starbucks brand. Can be monetized in a variety of ways.<br />
<br />
Q: Could this work in anything other than a coffee shop? <br />
<br />
A: They discussed this. Coffee shop kind of came to mind as the right density and atmosphere. <br />
<br />
Q: Why age 18-34? <br />
<br />
A: Needed a target market. Not about exclusion but picking a target market that already has the habit of going to coffee-shops. <br />
<br />
"It's not about drinking coffee, it's about community but what we're selling is people who have the coffee habit. <br />
<br />
Q: How will you control quality of discussion. So experience my differ from today to tomorrow. <br />
<br />
A: Unique because it tackles this particular cultural environment. We will continue to adapt to needs. WE don't want to exclude anybody because of their opinions.<br />
<br />
==TEAM TWO: Discovery -- Youth News Digest== <br />
<br />
<i>This team included: <br />
<br />
<br />
</i><br />
<br />
There's a market need for youth-oriented educational news, delivered to their smartphones. The idea is to put position news and information in front of them. Put it on a mobile application in front of the child. High curated, packaged editorial content. <br />
<br />
*Definition: Application streaming news articles appropriate for 10-14-year-olds to their smartphones. <br />
<br />
*Distribution: Partner with cell providers (e.g. Verizon) or phone manufactuer (e.g. Samsung) to preload and/or parents can load from App Store. <br />
<br />
*Content: Contenet amnually selected/curated with aid of automatic tagging/entity extration extended with age-appropriate filters (e.g. reading level analysis). Initially, limited ot science. Editorial section rewrites sleected article in age-appropriate fashion (e.g. digest such as The Week ... for kids). <br />
<br />
*Purchase: Sell app/subscription to parents on basis of educational value by monthly subscription. <br />
<br />
*Configuration: Parents specify areas of interest such as science, technology, etc. (though they can be modified by end users). <br />
<br />
*Usage: <br />
<br />
"We think this is a huge market and an easy sell," says team member Miriam Pepper, editorial-page editor of the Kansas City Star. The selling proposition here is easy: Resolve parental guilt about buying a cell phone for their kids by providing this educational resource along with hit. She says it is a triple-hit product. Sell as an ap, sell as an embedded addition to other apps. <br />

*Market: Potential market is 20 million U.S. youth. If a teen-ager sends 6,000 texts a month, how about if she could look at the Science News app while she is on the phone? $240 million U.S. market potential if you assume $2.99 a month, $35.88 a year per month times 20 million teens. Studies find tha 25% of parents are willing to pay for increasing their children's education -- that yields a target market worth $60 million. <br />
<br />
One possibility: Cell providers/carriers could pre-load this onto their cell phones. Ad artners: Youth-oriented retail outlets offer bonus points for game/quiz victories. Baskin-Robbins, movie chains, Blockbuster, Netflix.<br />
<br />
Q: Dubious about stickiness to get conversion to buy the product from schools or parents. They tried this in Tampa market and got 1.6 percent conversion. <br />
<br />
Q: Beth Polish: She wonders about getting parents to part with $3/month. <br />
<br />
A: I think your question shows how this is an open field. <br />
<br />
Q: Dean Mills: Skepticism about whether a 10- or 11-year-old will uptake. They may just no take to it. <br />
<br />
A: Miriam Pepper says you could push the news aspect, not the educational aspect.<br />
<br />
*Prospective partner: MTV, making it fun and educational for kids. <br />

<div>=An overview of the L3C corporate form= <br />
<br />
<big><i>By Bill Densmore<br>[http://rji.missouri.edu/fellows-program/densmore-b/index.php Reynolds Journalism Institute researcher]</i></big><br><br />
<i>Last update: March 5, 2010</i><br />
<br />
==Overview== <br />
<br />
Under the L3C corporate form, proponents say, profits are subservient to a requirement to achieve a social mission, and investors are explicitly aware of this. Proponents say the social mission makes it possible for foundations to loan or invest in the L3C as a "program-related investment."<br />
Bylaws and management can be flexibly constructed to allow collaboration, different member classes and other features common to a co-operative. <br />
Operating profits, after returning initial investment capital and funding R&D and reserves, could be directed to the social mission -- such as providing grants for investigative or other forms of civic journalism. <br />
<p><br />
<ul><br />
*"This language was carefully developed to qualify these new entities to receive investments from foundations through Program Related Investments," Kate Barr, executive director of the Minneapolis-based Nonprofits Assistance Fund, has said. But she [http://www.nonprofitsassistancefund.org/blog/2009/08/26/in-love-with-l3cs/ also added recently:] "It is not, however, a solution to nonprofit or business entities that have expenses that are higher than revenue (that’s called a deficit in both worlds). It is also not a solution to a business or nonprofit that is losing its market, audience, donors, or other revenue sources."<br />
<br />
*There's an overview of the L3C form, written in November, 2008, as part of our Information Valet Project research at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, the Missouri School of Journalism. Here's the link: http://www.newshare.com/ivp/l3c.pdf<br />
<br />
*Money magazine's online site also posted a [http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/08/smallbusiness/l3c_low_profit_companies/ good overview in Feb. 2010] profiling a dairy-based L3C. Here's an excerpt: "MOOMilk is a "low-profit" limited liability corporation, or L3C. It's a controversial new type of business entity intended to make it easier for companies with a social mission to receive investments, including loans and grants, from charitable foundations . . . Since April 2008, five states and two Indian tribes have signed legislation enabling companies to incorporate as an L3C, which is generally defined as a taxable for-profit business whose primary goal is to achieve a stated social mission. Profit is a secondary goal."<br />
<br />
*The Council on Foundations also links to an excellent overview ([http://www.cof.org/files/Documents/Conferences/LegislativeandRegulatory01.pdf DOWNLOAD PDF]). <br />
<br />
*Vermont was the first state to adopt an L3C-enabling statute, in early 2008. In February, 2009, the Vermont Law School [http://www.vermontlaw.edu/x9559.xml held a two-day symposium] on alternate corporate forms, and focused on the L3C. You can [http://www.vermontlawreview.org/images/symposium10.pdf download a PDF of the scheduled program] to see who the experts were.<br />
<br />
</ul><br />
<br />
==Background briefing== <br />
<br />
In a nutshell, the L3C form is a method for putting social mission ahead of profits within the context of a for-profit entity. So the idea is that you tell your stockholders, in effect: "We intend to make money, but for a specific social purpose. We may accept lower profits to further the purpose. Caveat emptor if you are going to invest." This gives legal cover to the officers and directors of an L3C to be mission-focused and not get sued for NOT pursuing profit maximization.<br />
<p><br />
Here's the rub: About seven states have enacted L3C enabling legislation. The thought is that an L3C ought to be able to receive "program-related investments" from foundations. The problem for foundations, is that there is no statutory assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will regard their investments in an L3C as "program related."<br />
<p><br />
This is important for the foundations because if it isn't program related, it can't be considered part of their at least 5%-a-year grant-making activities qualifying them to keep their tax status. If it isn't "program related" it would have to be considered part of their portfolio investing and then that runs afoul of their fiduciary obligation to invest their portfolio for return not mission.<br />
<br />
So foundations haven't been jumping to back L3Cs or encourage their formation. Robert Lang, the subject of my interview in Dubuque, linked below, is working to introduce legislation in Congress to mandate appropriate treatment of L3C investments by foundations. I think if that law gets enacted, L3Cs will very quickly become fundable, and mainstream.<br />

The Media Access Project, headed by Andrew Jay Schwartzman, 1625 K Street, NW, Suite 1000,Washington DC 20036 - (202) 232-4300, is helping Bob Lang with the enabling legislation. Attorney [http://www.bipc.com/professionals.php?PeopleID=346 Elizabeth Minnigh] of the law firm of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney is working on the language. <br />
<p><br />
===Columbia report endorses L3C concept===<br />
<br />
Leonard Downie, retired Washington Post editor, and Michael Schudson, a Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism professor, co-authored a much-quoted report: [http://www.cjr.org/reconstruction/the_reconstruction_of_american.php "The Reconstruction of American Journalism."] And there's a {http://www.newshare.com/l3c/columbia-excerpt.doc section of their report] which cites and recommends the L3C form. <br />
<p><br />
The corporate-social-responsibility movement is now looking at L3C as a concept and you may see some activity from that quarter. Foundations are so risk averse that they aren't generally on the barricades supporting this. However, their umbrella Council Foundations includes L3C federal enabling legislation in their policy agenda: ([http://www.cof.org/files/Documents/Government/legagenda2009.pdf DOWNLOAD PDF EXCERPT])<br />
<p><ul><ul><br />
<i>"4) Low-profit Limited Liability Company (L3C) Proposal<br><br><br />
<br />
"Position: The Council supports federal legislation that would allow foundations to make program-related investments to Low-profit Limited Liability Companies (L3Cs). We will identify champions in the House and Senate to introduce the L3C legislative proposal. With the assistance of colleague entities, we will follow the activities in the various state that are considering the passage of the L3C concept. This will require continued negotiations among disparate parties as to simple, clear legislative language that achieves our goal."</i></ul></ul><br />

<div>=An overview of the L3C corporate form= <br />
<br />
<big><i>By Bill Densmore<br>[http://rji.missouri.edu/fellows-program/densmore-b/index.php Reynolds Journalism Institute researcher]</i></big><br><br />
<i>Last update: March 5, 2010</i><br />
<br />
==Overview== <br />
<br />
Under the L3C corporate form, proponents say, profits are subservient to a requirement to achieve a social mission, and investors are explicitly aware of this. Proponents say the social mission makes it possible for foundations to loan or invest in the L3C as a "program-related investment."<br />
Bylaws and management can be flexibly constructed to allow collaboration, different member classes and other features common to a co-operative. <br />
Operating profits, after returning initial investment capital and funding R&D and reserves, could be directed to the social mission -- such as providing grants for investigative or other forms of civic journalism. <br />
<p><br />
<li><br />
*"This language was carefully developed to qualify these new entities to receive investments from foundations through Program Related Investments," Kate Barr, executive director of the Minneapolis-based Nonprofits Assistance Fund, has said. But she [http://www.nonprofitsassistancefund.org/blog/2009/08/26/in-love-with-l3cs/ also added recently:] "It is not, however, a solution to nonprofit or business entities that have expenses that are higher than revenue (that’s called a deficit in both worlds). It is also not a solution to a business or nonprofit that is losing its market, audience, donors, or other revenue sources."<br />
<br />
*There's an overview of the L3C form, written in November, 2008, as part of our Information Valet Project research at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, the Missouri School of Journalism. Here's the link: http://www.newshare.com/ivp/l3c.pdf<br />
<br />
*Money magazine's online site also posted a [http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/08/smallbusiness/l3c_low_profit_companies/ good overview in Feb. 2010] profiling a dairy-based L3C. Here's an excerpt: "MOOMilk is a "low-profit" limited liability corporation, or L3C. It's a controversial new type of business entity intended to make it easier for companies with a social mission to receive investments, including loans and grants, from charitable foundations . . . Since April 2008, five states and two Indian tribes have signed legislation enabling companies to incorporate as an L3C, which is generally defined as a taxable for-profit business whose primary goal is to achieve a stated social mission. Profit is a secondary goal."<br />
<br />
*The Council on Foundations also links to an excellent overview ([http://www.cof.org/files/Documents/Conferences/LegislativeandRegulatory01.pdf<br />
DOWNLOAD PDF]). <br />
<br />
*Vermont was the first state to adopt an L3C-enabling statute, in early 2008. In February, 2009, the Vermont Law School [http://www.vermontlaw.edu/x9559.xml held a two-day symposium] on alternate corporate forms, and focused on the L3C. You can [http://www.vermontlawreview.org/images/symposium10.pdf download a PDF of the scheduled program] to see who the experts were.<br />
<br />
</li><br />
<br />
==Background briefing== <br />
<br />
In a nutshell, the L3C form is a method for putting social mission ahead of profits within the context of a for-profit entity. So the idea is that you tell your stockholders, in effect: "We intend to make money, but for a specific social purpose. We may accept lower profits to further the purpose. Caveat emptor if you are going to invest." This gives legal cover to the officers and directors of an L3C to be mission-focused and not get sued for NOT pursuing profit maximization.<br />
<p><br />
Here's the rub: About seven states have enacted L3C enabling legislation. The thought is that an L3C ought to be able to receive "program-related investments" from foundations. The problem for foundations, is that there is no statutory assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will regard their investments in an L3C as "program related."<br />
<p><br />
This is important for the foundations because if it isn't program related, it can't be considered part of their at least 5%-a-year grant-making activities qualifying them to keep their tax status. If it isn't "program related" it would have to be considered part of their portfolio investing and then that runs afoul of their fiduciary obligation to invest their portfolio for return not mission.<br />
<br />
So foundations haven't been jumping to back L3Cs or encourage their formation. Robert Lang, the subject of my interview in Dubuque, linked below, is working to introduce legislation in Congress to mandate appropriate treatment of L3C investments by foundations. I think if that law gets enacted, L3Cs will very quickly become fundable, and mainstream.<br />

The problem for foundations, is that there is no statutory assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will regard their investments in an L3C as "program related."<br />
<p><br />
This is important for the foundations because if it isn't program related, it can't be considered part of their at least 5%-a-year grant-making activities qualifying them to keep their tax status. If it isn't "program related" it would have to be considered part of their portfolio investing and then that runs afoul of their fiduciary obligation to invest their portfolio for return not mission.<br />
<br />
So foundations haven't been jumping to back L3Cs or encourage their formation. Robert Lang, the subject of my interview in Dubuque, linked below, is working to introduce legislation in Congress to mandate appropriate treatment of L3C investments by foundations. I think if that law gets enacted, L3Cs will very quickly become fundable, and mainstream.<br />

<div>=An overview of the L3C corporate form= <br />
<br />
<big><i>By Bill Densmore<br>Reynolds Journalism Institute researcher</i></big<br />
<br />
==Overview== <br />
<br />
Under the L3C corporate form, proponents say, profits are subservient to a requirement to achieve a social mission, and investors are explicitly aware of this. Proponents say the social mission makes it possible for foundations to loan or invest in the L3C as a "program-related investment."<br />
Bylaws and management can be flexibly constructed to allow collaboration, different member classes and other features common to a co-operative. <br />
Operating profits, after returning initial investment capital and funding R&D and reserves, could be directed to the social mission -- such as providing grants for investigative or other forms of civic journalism. <br />
<p><br />
*"This language was carefully developed to qualify these new entities to receive investments from foundations through Program Related Investments," Kate Barr, executive director of the Minneapolis-based Nonprofits Assistance Fund, has said. But she [http://www.nonprofitsassistancefund.org/blog/2009/08/26/in-love-with-l3cs/ also added recently:] "It is not, however, a solution to nonprofit or business entities that have expenses that are higher than revenue (that’s called a deficit in both worlds). It is also not a solution to a business or nonprofit that is losing its market, audience, donors, or other revenue sources."<br />
<br />
*There's an overveiw of the L3C form, written in November, 2009, as part of our Information Valet Project research at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, the Missouri School of Journalism. Here's the link: http://www.newshare.com/ivp/l3c.pdf<br />
<br />
<br />
*Money magazine's online site [http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/08/smallbusiness/l3c_low_profit_companies/<br />
posted a good overview, profiling a dairy-based L3C. Here's an excert: "MOOMilk is a "low-profit" limited liability corporation, or L3C. It's a controversial new type of business entity intended to make it easier for companies with a social mission to receive investments, including loans and grants, from charitable foundations . . . Since April 2008, five states and two Indian tribes have signed legislation enabling companies to incorporate as an L3C, which is generally defined as a taxable for-profit business whose primary goal is to achieve a stated social mission. Profit is a secondary goal."<br />
<br />
*The Council on Foundations also links to an [http://www.cof.org/files/Documents/Conferences/LegislativeandRegulatory01.pdf<br />
excellent overview (PDF)]. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Vermont was the first state to adopt an L3C-enabling statute, in early 2009. In February, 2009, the Vermont Law School [http://www.vermontlaw.edu/x9559.xml held a two-day symposium] on alternate corporate forms, and focused on the L3C. You can [http://www.vermontlawreview.org/images/symposium10.pdf download a PDF of the scheduled program] to see who the experts were.<br />
<br />
==Background briefing== <br />
<br />
In a nutshell, the L3C form is a method for putting social mission ahead of profits within the context of a for-profit entity. So the idea is that you tell your stockholders, in effect: "We intend to make money, but for a specific social purpose. We may accept lower profits to further the purpose. Caveat emptor if you are going to invest." This gives legal cover to the officers and directors of an L3C to be mission-focused and not get sued for NOT pursuing profit maximization.<br />
<p><br />
Here's the rub: About seven states have enacted L3C enabling legislation. The thought is that an L3C ought to be able to receive "program-related investments" from foundations. The problem for foundations, is that there is no statutory assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will regard their investments in an L3C as "program related."<br />
