This is a gloves-off, newsroom style conversation from a JTM discussion group this week. The honesty is refreshing, the conversation is necessary and hopefully continues.

1. My perception is that news organizations are relatively blind to
journalism as conversation, that they make little or weak use of the
interactivity available to them. They might offer it on their site to
other people, but it's not very meaningful.
What do you think? Do you know of notable exceptions?
2. If there were a program, a college degree or what-have-you, other
than or more-specific than JTM, to train people in journalism as
conversation -- designed to move the conversation forward, toward
making connections in general and toward solutions in particular --
what nonmedia compenents might it include?
Maybe stuff along the lines of interpersonal communications and
applied sociology?
