Much of today will consistent of breakout sessions, so the video won't be that great. But you'll be able to follow the tweets, and check this page as the day progresses for links to resources.

Some ideas from the morning reflection:

  • It's not all about technology; how do we set the roots?
  • How can we get back to good journalism?
  • How do journalists decided what's newsworthy?

The links at the top of this page will take you to the Twitter stream for the #jtmdetroit hash tag and also to a Web blog of running bits of longer information.

What happened on Thursday evening?

  • Thursday evening -- About 60 participants in Journalism That Matters-Detroit are gathered in the Towers Cafe on the Wayne State University campus engaged in a process called "World Cafe." It's a little like musical chairs -- in this case tables. They are spending three time segments of about 15 minutes discussing a moderator's question, and at the end of the process -- around 8:45 p.m. tonight -- we'll hear what they have come up with. We'll document that discuss on video and in real time alongside the live stream.

  • 8:03 mediagiraffe-1: The question: What brings people to journalism. His table was arguing aout revenue modesl. "We can't really tell that people will pay for journalism."
  • 8:05 mediagiraffe-1: "When people see themselves reflected in the journalism they are more likely to consume it."
