Share your thoughts about how the newsroom of the future should be different . (And if you do, please post a copy of your answer in the forums).
This is a great, difficult, important question. Honestly, I've been out of the business for quite a while, but watching from the other side -- as a communications consultant -- I am well aware that both newsgathering and news reporting have changed greatly in recent years. It is important to give reporters access to information, but not just volume of information -- figuring out how to help journalists sift through the abundance of material to find what is most relevant or important. Obviously, finding ways to promote both swiftness and accuracy/balance/perspective is essential.

Hi Chris. Just posted a couple of notes. I'll see if April could be viable and, if so, will drop a note to chat further about it.

Jason: Thanks for registering. This may be a long shot, but please think about coming to Duke for the conference in April. Also, take a moment and post something in our forums. We're asking alums to share a story or memory from their time at The Chronicle...
