Exploring information architectures that are public and extensible, and how the news media should change to tap technology to address evolving needs

Journalism isn’t dying; newspapers as a medium might be, but the tools out there will make the industry smarter, will allow the industry to tap collective intelligence.
- Harvesting of aggregate intelligence; now distributing on a mass scale
- Hyperlocal stories connect to so many people more than just the ones in your own communities
- Looking how to reach out to people and have them create their own stories
- stlmorgagecrisis.wordpress.com; just a WordPress blog, but people in the community are using tools that are already out there

You don’t always have to have the best solution
- we need a routinary solution, not necessarily always just mashing up

SIMILE Widgets
- Built to integrate between boundaries; integrate across action timelines
- Example of SIMILE widget working – calibrate between different things
– you can use several data sources, you can publish from anywhere
– can use diff types of media, diff types of data
– If you want to aggregate information, each one can be aggregrated in this tool

Microblog out on your own website, syndicate to Twitter
- whenever possible, keep your control, so can be used by these outside tools.
- have your own and control it
- you want to control your own data, so you publish out and keep it
- counterpoint: added value to having twitter and facebook run your apps; disadvantages too

PBS can’t just be media provider, needs to be on all these platforms, but in reality, people are going to just syndicate

* Important to have architecture that is reusable; architecture that can be scaled; architecture with lightweight standards

Content and medium get mixed together–almost inseparable
