TEXT RESOURCES
In December, 2008, some 60 people gathered on the American prairie and set out to describe a blueprint for a new information economy that would be based upon trust, identity and commerce. Now, on June 24, at that same prairie meeting spot, some of them are starting to build it.
On June 23-25, 2010 another 45 founders, architects and builders took the next step at “From Blueprint to Building: Making the Market for Digital Information" at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute in Columbia, Mo.

WHAT WE DID
This was not a conference, or a summit. It was a congress, 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 had two intentions:
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,
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.
Over three days we:
- Heard and commented on the June 24 first-public unveiling of a business plan for a news-industry hub for sharing users, information and commerce. The American Newspaper Digital Access Corp. (ANDAC) will solve current problems for newspapers. It’s the inspiration of the Multistate Digital Task Force -- a seed group of publishers from Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
- Helped frame ideas for the structure, governance and mission of a protytpe Information Trust Association (ITA) a facilitator of trust, identity and information commerce on the Internet and mobile networks.
- Shared 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.
- Joined 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.
- Shared 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.
WHO WAS INVITED
Among people most likely to benefit from participating were: 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.” / (A WORD ABOUT VENDORS.)
