“From Blueprint to Building: Making the Market for Digital Information"

June 23-25, 2010 / Reynolds Journalism Institute / Columbia, Mo.

FROM PLANNING TO ACTION

Eighteen months ago, about 60 people gathered on the American prairie and set out to describe a blueprint for a new information economy. On June 24, at that same prairie meeting spot, some of them will start building it.

Do you want to be among the 80 founders, architects and builders? If so, drive or fly over 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.

WHAT WE’LL DO

Rji-comfort.jpg

This is not a conference, or a summit. It’s a congress, organized by U.S. state press associations and by the Reynolds Institute, a news-industry ideas-experiments-research center affiliated with the Missouri School of Journalism, the nation’s oldest and near-largest.

You can arrive on Wednesday afternoon, or Thursday afternoon, and we’ll wrap up Friday afternoon, with optional additional research briefings on Saturday morning. Over three days you will:

    • Help frame the structure, governance and mission of the Information Trust Association (ITA) a facilitator of trust, identity and information commerce on the Internet and mobile networks.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Unstructured break time for ad-hoc collaboration in one of the many meeting rooms at the Reynolds Journalism Institute, or at one of the dozens of restaurants and nightspots adjacent to campus.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

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.”

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.

We'll meet in the two-year-old, $32-million Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri. Since it's dedication in Sept. 2008, "RJI" has become a sought-after venue for meetings on the cutting-edge of journalism research and innovation. / (view more photos)
