==The vision: New revenues for news==
 
<big>To earn new revenue, news organizations need to quickly migrate their historic role as the most-trusted source of information from the product-oriented print world to a service-oriented digital “ecosystem.” The Information Valet Project at the Reynolds Journalism Institute is organizing an information-industry collaborative to build, own and operate a shared-user network layered upon the basic Internet. The IVP network will:</big>
 
*ADVERTISING -- Advance the role, effectiveness of, and compensation for online advertising and marketing services via the ability to deliver targeted, interest-based advertising to individual, known consumers.
 
*PRIVACY -- Allow end users to own, protect — and optionally benefit by sharing — their demographic and usage data, with the help of their competitively chosen “information valet” – such as their local newspaper.
 
*SOCIAL NETWORK -- Provide a platform for customizing, sharing and personalizing the end-user web experience – a “news social network" with one ID, one passworld, one account and one bill.
 
*TRANSACTION -- Allow online users to easily share, sell and buy content through multiple websites with one bill, one account, one ID and password which work at a plurality of participating websites. <h4>

“We’ll start creating frameworks in law, governance, marketing, advertising, technology, user identity and transactions for the Information Valet Economy,” says Bill Densmore, IVP project researcher. “It should be a place where companies compete to provide personalized service to users, yet share those users, and where they make money referring those users to content — and advertising — from almost anywhere.”

The U.S. news industry struggles as print advertising moves elsewhere and web advertising's double-digit growth sputters. The industry can now rethink and relaunch its relationship with 50 million customers -- to become their "information valet" able to make money whether those users are buying services, information (including music and entertainment) or being paid for web seeking and contact with sponsored messages and advertising.
 
*Consumers want a customized experience, but want to control and be compensated for use of demographic and usage profiles.  
 
*The Internet needs a user-focused system for sharing identity, exchanging and settling value (including payments), for digital information. The system should allow multiple "Information Valets" to compete for and serve customers with varied topical interests and appetites for demographic sharing. It needs a '''<i>New(s) Social Network.'''</i><br><br>

Setting an agenda for the future of news

Hearings on Capitol Hill . . . new ideas about charging for content . . . services that profoundly affect user privacy . . . huge business losses among icons of American journalism . . . thousands of layoffs.

The news about the news is jarring. Take a day to assess the landscape. Hear about -- and contribute -- ideas and initiatives with the potential to sustain and morph journalism in the service of participatory democracy.

"From Gatekeeper to Information Valet: A Workplan for Sustaining Journalism," is a one-day symposium and idea-generation session . . . a chance to share your best ideas. It's convened by the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, (RJI) at the Missouri School of Journalism, in collaboration with The George Washington University School of Media & Public Affairs and the Committee of Concerned Journalists. It's the next step in a process which began Dec. 3-5, 2008, at "Blueprinting the Information Valet Economy."

We'll conduct this briefing and participatory working sessions in the state-of-the-art Jack Morton Auditorium at 805 21st Street NW, in downtown Washington, D.C., two blocks from the Foggy Bottom Metro stop. ALTERNATE VIEW

In one, fast-paced day, we intend to share and exchange the latest news on efforts to conceive and deploy tools, systems and services which morph and sustain the values, principles and purposes of independent journalism. We'll provide lunch and break-time refreshments -- all for $55.00. We'll:

      • Exchange with participants the latest developments and ideas for sustaining
      journalism, including the Information Valet Project and other independent initiatives.
      • Confirm, consider, or challenge, the roles of payments, privacy, advertising and
      personalization in journalism' future.
      • Provide details on the new Journalism Trust Innovation Engine at the Donald
      W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism.

"We need many news organizations to keep our country strong. We need to help each other. We need to partner, we need to experiment and we need to accept and agree that we will continue, we will not accept failure and we need to keep trying and trying different models until we get it right."

  • Vivian Schiller, CEO of National Public Radio, March 30, 2009, at the NewsVision Conference.

    In a March 16 Time Magazine story about the Project on Excellence in Journalism's 2009 "State of the News Media," report, M.J. Stephey wrote: " . . . (I)f solutions aren't obvious, the report's overall message is: Will the future leaders of journalism please stand up?"


    The Journalism Trust Assocation initiative

    This participatory event will include a morning briefing on the JTA . . . a strategic overview of news-industry opportunities and challenges . . . and discussion of the origin, vision and promise of the Information Valet Project. You'll also learn about the Journalism Trust Association -- a place, and ideas, around which journalism's supporters can stand up, partner, experiment, leave the gates behind, and begin sharing in a new information commons.

    http://www.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Blueprint-form

    After lunch, Dr. Lee Wilkins, professor, Missouri School of Journalism, will unveil and comment on findings from a new national survey of public attitudes toward the sharing of private information via the web; Missouri graduate student Emily Sussman will document and discuss a 14-year history of efforts to "monetize" news and other web content . . . participants will host briefings on key initiatives and technologies . . . and we'll manage one round of breakout sessions to assess what we've learned and consider next steps.
