This panel provides a unique perspective to the development and impact of social media tools in Mexico today. This panel features journalists from Mexico who will discuss how they use social media tools in their news organizations on a daily basis. In addition, they will discuss how Mexican citizens are using Twitter as a way to respond the lack of information in the newspapers that are under threat of drug traffickers. As news organizations have been forced to practice self-censorship after so many assassinations and kidnappings of journalists, citizens and even journalists have been using social media as the last resort to spread the news. In addition, Twitter has been used by the local Mexican government to inform the citizenry about dangerous areas because of drug trafficking. The journalists in this panel will discuss their own experience and use of social media, but also how society is using it.

READ MORE
In early 2010, the Texas State Board of Education wrangled over changes to the teaching of social studies and history for elementary, middle and high schools in the state public education system. A more conservative textbook curriculum is the result. The debate was covered widely in the local, national and international press. Squabbling among board members and educators, political rivalries and peculiarities of historical interpretation made this story riveting. For the media, the Texas Textbook Wars dramatized the increasing polarization of left and right in American life. A year later, in the spring of 2011, let's take a step back and examine how well the various media told this story. The panel will focus on print and online media, with reference to video/television and social media, such as twitter, as time allows. In preparation for the panel, we will create a website with background materials and very recent new source materials for reference and for initiating an ongoing discussion.

The growth of social media use among members of the traditional media has helped bond users with reporters, columnists and producers. In this panel I'd bring together people who report news for traditional media and participate daily with social media groups online. Each person can expect to take away real world examples of tactics that can help them create their own strategy going forward.

It's time to move on. Let's retire the debate about whether or not short-form writing on the web will replace long-form writing. In the same way that it's generally understood that bloggers will not replace journalists, Twitter will not take over The New Yorker. Tumblr will not eliminate the novel. But if we concede this point, then what are the ways in which these two forms will co-exist? Is it a peaceful but distant pairing? Is it symbiotic? Is it contentious? What does it mean to have community?

READ MORE
Wikileaks began as an audacious idea, a statement about the potential of the internet to speak truth to power and to open governments. More than four years later, Wikileaks has provided a platform for the release of swathes of explosive material: alleged illegal activity by Swiss bank Julius Baer, the revelation of toxic dumping by Trafigura in the Ivory Coast, controversial emails between climate scientists, a classified video of a US air strike in Iraq, the largest leak of classified documents in history in October 2010 with the publication of 400,000 War logs and, in November 2010, 44 years of confidential cables from US embassies around the world.
Publishers have relished the information Wikileaks has given access to, fulfilling the promise of openness and accessibility of information that governments find it hard to control on the internet. Is Wikileaks just one expression valve for the web, one that would be replaced by others if it was closed? Has it changed the public's understanding of and relationship to government, or is it a media preoccupation?
How has it changed relationships between publishers? How robust are these models for collaboration, both technically and editorially?
Has Wikileaks gone too far? What has been the impact on its sources, and has it put lives at risk? Is it irresponsible?
And does it represent a future that is inevitably more open because of the internet, and that governments must become more open with that?

READ MORE
Journalists and scholars have talked on and off about the idea of journalism as a conversation for nearly 20 years. It stands in contrast to decades of traditional journalism as a lecture, in which the all-knowing journalist alone decides what is news and conducts a monologue with the public on such matters, or maybe a dialogue with public officials and other elites. Citizens here are at best passive bystanders. But no more.
Now pretty much anyone with Internet access and a few Web tools can create and distribute news, collaborate with professional journalists in real time and select what news to follow, if any, from a dizzying array of choices. The media business and academia were slow to pick up on the change but are now taking heed. Curiously, little empirical research developed to help us understand what exactly we mean by conversation and then how to apply it to journalism's most treasured values, credibility and expertise.
Until now. This presentation explores key practical tips from doctoral research on how best to incorporate citizen audiences into online media processes. Doing it haphazardly can mean loss of perceived credibility, authority and just plain likeability. Doing it well, however, can create the kind of sustained interest we all crave for our sites.

Sure, the journalism business is in the pits and the last thing we need is another panel to bemoan its demise. What we do need is to understand and embrace the tools of change.
Innovation – not just invention – allows the media industry to evolve.
At J-Lab, we focus not just on funding some of the people and ideas that improve pockets of journalism, but we keep a keen eye trained on the changemakers of tomorrow and award the Knight-Batten Awards for Innovation in Journalism.
(Note: Our funding and the awards do not overlap. We are not using this session to tout anything we have a vested interest in whatsoever.)
This presentation will introduce you to five journalism disrupters you've never even heard of. We're not talking about blogs and iPhone apps here. But we are certain you'll be able to walk out of this panel with knowledge that will better help you understand the future world of news. And you'll leave with some really cool tidbits to drop on your friends at a SXSW party tonight.
This idea was originally submitted as a presentation to allow for a variety of ideas to be introduced quickly, but it can easily be morphed into a panel depending on schedule needs.
We take great pride in the presentations we conduct across the country. There will be an associated website to link you to the discussion points. There will be handouts. And there will be entertainment. Perhaps even a juggling dog. Stay tuned...

READ MORE
I wrote my essay, Bloggers vs. Journalists is Over, in 2005. And it should be over. After all, lots of journalists happily blog, lots of bloggers journalize and everyone is trying to figure out what's sustainable online. But there's something else going on, and I think I've figured out a piece of it: these two Internet types, amateur bloggers and pro journalists, are actually each other's ideal "other."
A big reason they keep struggling with each other lies at the level of psychology, not in the particulars of the disputes and flare-ups that we continue to see online. The relationship is essentially neurotic, on both sides. Bloggers can't let go of Big Daddy media— the towering figure of the MSM — and still be bloggers. Pro journalists, meanwhile, project fears about the Internet and loss of authority onto the figure of the pajama-wearing blogger. This is a construction of their own and a key part of a whole architecture of denial that has weakened in recent years, but far too slowly.
The only way we can finally kill this meme--bloggers vs. journalists--and proceed into a brighter and pro-am future for interactive journalism is to go right at the psychological element in it: the denial, the projection, the neuroses, the narcissism, the grandiosity, the rage, the fears of annihilation: the monsters of the id in the newsroom, and the fantasy of toppling the MSM in the blogosphere. That is what my solo presentation will be about: a tale of the Internet, told through types.

READ MORE
Journalism cannot save our wounded democracy, but it’s crucial to ensuring the informed electorate that democracy needs. If we frame journalism’s future in terms of democracy’s future, how does that change the conversation?
This presentation will delve into that question in depth, but it is also a sermon, an exhortation for everybody engaged in shaping journalism’s future to widen the horizons of our thinking, to understand the Web’s potential in more expansive terms, and to escape the limits of the long-running binary dispute between people focused on saving the legacy media (Plan A) and citizen journalists and bloggers (Plan B). Democracy calls us to think big.
Listeners will also be taken to important places the future of journalism conversation rarely goes: Serving not just elites but also the less-than-affluent public that’s at best ill served by existing media; approaches to regaining trust in journalism, and whole new areas of monetization.
Part of the presentation will lay out the Banyan Project, the distinctive nonprofit Web journalism startup that the speaker founded and that has won him a Game Changer Award from the 2010 WeMedia Conference as well as a fellowship at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard. He will present Banyan as a Third Way, a Plan C – and he’ll challenge our imaginations to come up with a whole alphabet of distinctive approaches.

"Live Visual Blogging" adds live graphics to explain, annotate and illustrate the text of live blogging. Think of it as a visual activity stream to present live events. Think of it as realtime text-graphic journalism. But, please, *don't* think of it as video. Live visual blogging is not video; it is a text-graphic feed which complements and illuminates a video feed (or some other re-presentation of a live event, like audio coverage, or even the event itself, face-to-face in the same location). For the last three years, graphic artists did live visual blogging on paper for the SXSW keynotes. This panel explores live visual blogging using computers, both for the web as well as on a big screen in front of an audience. The simplest use of live visual blogging is when the text-graphic output is fed directly to the web. For example, a live visual blogger in the audience at a SXSW keynote is feeding to her blog stream. And then people in the audience can follow on their phones or laptops. But things get more interesting when the live visual feed is put on a big screen in full view of the room. Then the realtime social dynamics begin to get exciting. If the audience can see the realtime annotation, is it a useful positive feedback loop, or a runaway process of chaos? Each panelist will demonstrate their own version of live visual blogging -- *live* in front of the audience. Four different panelists, four different mini-performances that show as well as tell.

As traditional media pursue less investigative journalism, there is an opportunity and a need for investigative reporting. In many ways, there are advantages investigative blogging has over old school reporting. There is the ability to crowd source for information, no limitations of print, the options for more interactivity with readers, and the ability to spread the word about reports in social media. This panel would cover: * interviewing sources and getting them to respond * finding or building databases for computer-assisted reporting * crowd sourcing for reporting * writing an investigative blog piece

READ MORE
This presentation introduces the concept of Immersive Journalism, which is the production of news in a form in which people can gain first-person experiences of the events or situation described in news stories. The participant, typically represented as a digital avatar, enters a virtually recreated news story that has been designed to create a feeling of “being there.” The sense of presence obtained through an immersive system (whether a Cave, head-tracked head-mounted displays (HMD) or online virtual worlds, such as video games and online virtual worlds) affords the participant unprecedented access to the sights, sounds, and, possibly, feelings and emotions that accompany the news. By both describing current approaches and demonstrating elaborate and low-cost immersive journalism experiences, this presentation will inspire the audience to begin using immersive journalism in their news and non-fiction stories.

More and more, the cult of celebrity is moving away from what media companies say is popular to what we as a community say is popular.
Enter “Amber Lamps,” a bystander in the saga of Epic Beard Man, a story of memetic proportions happening right here in the Bay Area. It was a brawl on an AC Transit bus, a miscommunication-turned-violent episode that flooded Internet boards with commentary and thousands of user-generated responses.
So grand was this meme, it spurred an additional one in the form of a young onlooker in the madness. Donned in American Apparel, wearing headphones and a placid smile, Amber Lamps stirred the hearts of 4Chan users, Digg enthusiasts, and Tumblr junkies. Her hipster beauty, complete stoicism to the violent outburst around her on the Oakland bus, and far-off gaze caused one Yahoo message board to say, “She is beyond mere mortals.”
Despite her Internet fame, her identity has remained a mystery. What is her real name? Where does she live? Where was she going? And what was she listening to on those cheap headphones?
Using Kickstarter.com, we’re crowdfunding enough cash to ride the AC Transit, make posters, and film our quest to find the elusive Amber Lamps. We are the paparazzi of the 4Chan generation. Any other “celebrity” would slap a lawsuit on us. What gives us the right to unveil Amber Lamps? What goes into the science of creating Internet celebrity and what will celebrities look like in the future?

It’s no news that the industry that for so long brought the world to our doorsteps is in the midst of an evolution, converging traditional ideals and innovation. Social platforms like Facebook have made it possible for our friends to be the writer, publisher and paper boy all rolled into one, giving way to a people-powered news movement in which the news we read is personalized.
Various news sites are experimenting with harnessing the power of social distribution, as well as requiring readers to comment with their real names, and testing virtual currencies. What will work? What role will technology such as social tools, open source and identity providers play in journalism? The panel of experts will discuss the opportunities for news organizations, as well as where the industry will be in 5-10 years.

Bloggers and journalists have a contentious relationship at best. So why did the Chicago Tribune, the Midwest's largest daily paper, launch a network of uncensored blogs?
Tracy Samantha Schmidt, the editorial director of ChicagoNow, will explain why and how the Tribune launched ChicagoNow in the summer of 2009.
Schmidt, 26, will also detail how the site has grown in the year since launch--earning 25 million pageviews in June 2010 and being named one of "5 Innovative Websites That Could Reshape The News" by Mashable and the Poynter Institute.
Hear what it's like to launch a start-up inside a bankrupt media company,to recruit unknown bloggers inside a newsroom that employs Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, to stand behind a completely hands-off editorial policy, and to explain to businesses why they should advertise on a "bunch of blogs."
ChicagoNow's launch certainly wasn't all roses. Be ready for the humorous yet honest take on two intense years inside a newspaper's very own blogosphere.

Democracy started with “We the People.”
“We the People” created the government. We demanded that it protect us, and never restrict our unalienable rights to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
But what guarantees that those we elect put people first?
Thomas Jefferson’s solution: Those in power could never make a law that shut down the press or the voice of the people
The people opened an independent eye. The press kept watch on those in power and told the people what it saw.
But many feel time has diluted the traditional media’s effectiveness. Cost cutting closed the watchful eye.
Without good information, it is difficult for the people to participate, and government becomes complacent about their needs.
I believe it is time for a “news” revolution. A new press should produce comprehensive streams of rigorously non-partisan original reporting on the issues that are most important to our lives.
Once informed, we the people should have a space where we can discuss the important issues of our times without having to submit to intolerance, deceptive campaigning and fear-mongering.
Through the use of technology and new business models, news innovators can provide more credible information and space for civil discussions.
The goal is to empower citizens by providing access to superior reporting and the platform for community organization necessary for the People once again to become powerful participants in democracy.

READ MORE
The web was supposed to kill longform journalism, relegate it to a slow demise in the pasture of print. The stories were just too long, conventional wisdom held. The web was about the efficient delivery of information—who had time to read 5,000 words on a browser, let alone pay for the privilege?
Longform journalism was going to die. And it almost did.
But the combination of elegant mobile devices and innovative apps has proven that the audience for longform journalism still exists—and has the potential to grow. Turns out, the problem wasn’t that the stories were too long. People love stories! The problem was that nobody had spent much time thinking about how best, for readers, to present and distribute them digitally.
At the same moment that many publishers were being forced to give up on the feasibility of longform work, readers were finally given the tools to read pieces when, how, and where they wanted to.
This panel will discuss: what those tools are, how they’re being used, how some publishers are taking advantage of them, how other publishers are failing to take advantage of them, how the digital reading experience will continue to evolve, why journalists will always be the core audience for longform journalism, the iPad and the Kindle, Instapaper and Readability, and whether or not anyone is making any money from this stuff.
This panel will not discuss: the upside of paginating long stories.

A new crop of bloggers are rewriting the rules of professional journalism by blowing apart the traditions surrounding objectivity and tone. Coming from Web sites like the Village Voice, Gawker, Salon and others, this new crop of writers are the next face of journalism, taking smarts, sharp writing, a definite point-of-view and blending it with a good portion of caustic wit.
With the rise of the new guard, however, has come tension with the old guard and this tension has manifested recently in reporter Dave Weigel's resignation from the Washington Post, and several other lower profiles old vs. new clashes. This panel, moderated by Bill Jensen, Village Voice Media's director of new media and featuring the Village Voice's Foster Kamer and prominent writers from other similar web-based publications will examine what's behind those clashes, as well as the underlying philosophy and motivation behind new journalism and how the Internet has helped propagate the new journalistic mores.

The agonizing over the alleged death of journalism has grown louder and more tedious by the week. Yes, we're going through a messy and sometimes troubling transition. But there are many more reasons for optimism than pessimism.
innovators are transforming the methods of journalism and community information, with new experiments showing up almost every day. They're also working hard on the business models. That's "models," plural, because the oligopoly and monopoly models of the past are giving way to a free-for-all of ideas and experiments.
I'll list and describe in detail a dozen innovative projects from people whose work is helping us see the future. They'll include startups and projects inside media companies, focusing on things we need to fix or add to the media ecosystem.
Then I'll say to the pessimists, "Enough already."

Many print journalists, even those who resisted change, are trying to embrace the digital future. Twenty-year veterans take up social media after taking a buyout, and journalism programs now give aspiring reporters basic multimedia skills. But a facility with Twitter or Soundslides combined with an occupational knack for asking questions won't always add up to the skills necessary to redesign a Web site or create an app. The truth is, journalists and programmers think in fundamentally different ways—words vs. code; stories vs. systems—and often have a hard time communicating and collaborating. And the problem is asymmetrical; most programmers can quickly grasp enough about journalism to work with journalists, but it's much harder to get, say, a midlevel editor to understand the basics of software development or database design. I often find myself wishing I could recommend a course to that colleague or to an unemployed journalist that would teach them how the other half thinks. Most of us have had to muddle through on our own, until we have a road to Damascus moment. But there's got to be a better way. How can we teach journalists to think about technology?

READ MORE
An in-depth look at the emerging use of paywalls on the internet whether it is viable or not, and whether it will help or hinder the traditional media industry, which is still finding its feet in this new online world. Paywalls have been a controversial topic in the UK this year, with the introduction of a pay wall by one of the UK's national papers, The Times’ website being condemned by others (such as The Guardian in the UK) as unviable and an option that will only lead readers to use other ‘free’ sites. The Times on the other hand argues that those who pay can look forward to more coverage, and more in depth pieces, something which they didn’t have the resources to do before hand, due to the cost of running a site which wasn’t making any money. There have been successes and failures in the US too with Newsday failing at its attempt to initiate a paywall, but the Wall Street Journal being very successful in its attempt.
However there is more at stake than just the disagreements between titles; with the rise in free data now readily available on the internet in easy to read formats, a bigger question remains: Has journalism become totally open to all and will the rise in social media commentators and bloggers render journalism extinct.

Newsrooms in the digital age are collaborating with each other and their communities to expand their reach, deepen their reporting, and meet the needs of an ever-changing audience. As journalism is re-imagined and recreated, creative reporting partnerships - from hyperlocal online start-ups to legacy print papers - are reshaping the way news is done. Alan Rusbridger, the editor of The Guardian, recently remarked, “I’ve seen the future, and it’s mutual.” This mutuality is a fundamental shift, brought about by new technologies, new economies, and often driven by new kinds of news organizations.
These new journalism collaborations exhibit the same passion and spirit that has driven the open source movement in software and technology. However, these collaborations also present new challenges and raise a number of important questions. In this session, the panelists will present a few case studies and frame the key issues, then lead an open discussion with participants. Together we'll explore how journalists and communities are collaborating to create a new kind of news.

READ MORE
For decades, by deciding what stories were covered and how they were covered, newspapers set the boundaries of acceptable discourse in their communities. They reinforced normative community manners—and those communities allowed them to do so, with (for the most part) little complaint.
For many reasons, readers are no longer as willing to let this happen. Rather, they are empowered as never before to define community manners and standards themselves—and to reject any heavy-handed efforts to influence those definitions.
Now, more than ever, the news consumer doesn’t have to let a newspaper set the boundaries of discourse, or settle for a source that doesn’t reflect his or her attitudes. As Syracuse professor R. David Lankes writes, “There are simply more choices in whom to trust, and market forces have not come into play to limit choices. While this is true for virtually all media venues to some degree, the scale of choice on the internet make the internet particularly affected by shifts in authority.”
This panel will address news outlets' attempts to deal with these shifts, and will offer several suggestions on how they should go about building and retaining their authority and credibility in the Internet age.

The transformation of journalism is well under way. The Fourth Estate (traditional professional journalists) declined by 30 percent in terms of the number of people it employs and its capacity to document our lives and our communities. This demise might continue or it might level out, but it will not reverse itself. The Fifth Estate (bloggers, social networks, content start-ups and everyone else who contributes to the work of journalism) is growing exponentially and will continue to grow. This interactive presentation will use a variety of narratives to describe this new world and highlight the benefits and drawbacks. It will conclude by sharing and eliciting suggestions on how citizens can participate in making journalism, and ultimately democracy, stronger.
