I’ll press them again, but obtaining new content didn’t provoke any responses.”

Editor's Notes
- #8 3D journalism to me engages the eye, ear, the soul > here we do it via the 3-eyes
- #9 Carnegie-Knight cover story features this Northwestern photo with smiling fellows; I like the serious one, because what we’re doing is tackling serious issues that are changing our country.
- #10 We have many sub- and specific goals. Vistors Placing our stories in other media Sharing how to run an incubator with other schools, or other professors UI: Proving that our journalism has value - or not, but then tell them about it! Advancements: Evaluated on our innovation and technology as part of the grant
- #11 The intersection is important, and those who understand it get jobs
- #12 But we have to get people to see our journalism. Remember the firehose Remember that screen Dawn showed of all the people joining groups, posting, etc. per fraction of a second...
- #13 Interactive tool from 2007’s Berkeley’s Moral Compass project: At least a third of all traffic for the life of News21 -- 4 year’s worth on one interactive.
- #14 1 of 155 and 1 of 6 and 1 of 3 Swif-Address > Provides a permalink for all Flash entry points
- #15 Lots of stories, aimed at specific audiences. Beware of see and leave by time stamp
- #16 Geotaging would help with the possible outreach
- #17 We had 63 landing pages, many of which looked overwhelming to someone. Lots of info But that gap between 346 and 533: 187 lost opportunities
- #18 Smaller news teams with little tech resources have little time to replicate our material
- #19 We’re pushing for innovation What is it exactly? Last year, I saw a lot of creative ideas -- like a good story idea, a nice hook -- but not very innovative.
- #20 Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought of.
- #21 Next year, midyear through grant, we’re expected to have an INNOVATION EVALUATION
- #22 THis is a great interactive, the kind of tool that can keep on giving, but with out promotion, has been stagnant. In fact, the NYT has an alliance to do something similar with ProPublica with a Knight News Challenge grant Professors tomorrow will be speaking more about how to keep things going.
- #24 Did you hear about the J grad from Chicago Columbia College wants a job with mags in NYC and bought ads on facebook groups at Hearst and Conde Naste?
- #25 Village Voice media... but market it to each city.
- #26 Can use APIs on OpenBlock
- #27 If I had story budgets by April, can I help you get placements? With geotagging and spritely written blurbs, yes.
- #28 Anticipating and researching possible placements!
- #30 Whose content could maybe fit in here? Could we approach the editors now? yes!
- #32 Bringing it together is hard in 10 weeks
- #33 We should be sweeping these awards; doesn’t have to be a whole package; can be an element
- #34 Important for us to understand how good the inventions are
- #36 We’d need a text version to share with paper partners.
- #44 We can create FB sub fan pages, after you go thru some of the tools like KnowEm to establish an identity FB & Twitter communities now at about 500 Total of all J programs = ~10K USC= 1900 Mo: 2250 Columbia: 272 Medill: 1600 Umd: 650 ASU: 900
- #45 How do we present information to prospective partners? Unraveling to a certain extent, and then showing how they are cooler as they were conceived and maybe not so much -- or maybe better -- in another way.
- #47 about 250 words per page. So this 3,000 word story is 6 pages Gannett chopped it all down to 1200 words
- #48 19 vs. 20 vs. 7
- #51 Keene, N.H. > Anyone from there? If geotag our work, it can tantalize editors by where you are, as a famous C-K fellow, but also of regional interest.
- #53 Basically, they chose to run only stories that had photos -- good photos, high rez, pre-cropped.
- #54 Great photos matter!
- #55 As important on the web, though, despite it being visual, is great compelling writing. 75 scintillating words! Why some sites put a nice summary atop the page.
- #60 We’ll be cool-izing our new categories pages, if you post a photo.
- #63 Transparency: Lessons learned! Like that cool IRE database Steve mentioned, about guidesheets supplied by seasoned reporters at IRE conferences. We should provide this additional info.
- #64 Project in brief as same as Vanity Fair blurb
- #74 There’s a lot to understand and assimilate -- and develop a career around Look at Michael from Vertical Measure!
