Greetings,

You can hardly walk outdoors without hearing a wail that the news business
is dying <http://thedw.us/post/78222312/lights-out-david-horsey>... or being
reinvented -- without money.

The possibility of a world without MSM (mainstream media) may seem
distressing, but other organisms seem to be moving into its place. We've had
calls about NowPublic<http://www.yi-tan.com/wiki/yi-tan/public_journalism?wikiPageId=932141>.com
and hyperlocal news<http://www.yi-tan.com/wiki/yi-tan/the_business_of_hyperlocal_news>;
we haven't talked about Spot.us <http://spot.us/> and other new ventures.

With Liza Boyd<http://www.yi-tan.com/wiki/yi-tan/Liza_Boyd?wikiPageId=1605419>,
Mitch Ratcliffe<http://www.yi-tan.com/wiki/yi-tan/Mitch_Ratcliffe?wikiPageId=1605417>and
Dan
Gillmor <http://www.yi-tan.com/wiki/yi-tan/Dan_Gillmor?wikiPageId=1605418>,
let's discuss:

   - How long will today's mainstream news enterprises last?
   - What is replacing them? What seems to work these days? What's missing?
   - How might we envision a news environment of the future?

Here are some articles and posts about the future of news:

   - Crowd Funding: A Different Way to Pay for the News You
Want<http://%20http//www.nytimes.com/2008/08/24/weekinreview/24kershaw.html>(NYT)
   - What Would Micropayments Do for
Journalism?<http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/18/blnk/>(Freakonomics;
read Clay's response)
   - The Day the Newspaper
Died<http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2009/01/26/090126crat_atlarge_lepore?currentPage=1>(New
Yorker)
   - Facebook and Twitter Are Reshaping Journalism As We Know
It<http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/121211>(Rory O'Connor)

As always, an IRC
Chat<http://www.yi-tan.com/wiki/yi-tan/irc_chat?wikiPageId=163280>will
be available during the call,
here. Let's continue tweeting, using
#yitan<http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23yitan>.
