Eric<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0 I was impacted by the stories of pain and suffering in the journalism profession, brought on by profits as the bottom line and humans and their environment as a sidebar.\u00a0 Challenge:\u00a0 How to work with what\u2019s obviously a transition in the industry.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nora<\/span>:\u00a0 This time together has been an eye-opener.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always enjoyed working with journalists in the trenches, and was wary of the \u201csuits\u201d like Jim and Chris.\u00a0 They broke my stereotypes.<\/p>\n

Scott<\/span>:\u00a0 I can\u2019t stop thinking about the historic precedents.\u00a0 What must it have been like when the printing press was invented, and those few people who could read and write contemplated a future when everyone could?\u00a0 As an early step, how can we figure out how to bring Poynter into this process?<\/p>\n

Karen<\/span>:\u00a0 When I think about journalism it\u2019s not just daily reporting and news media stereotypes, it\u2019s all aspects of storytelling in all media, film, etc.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to point to journalism, but we need shifts across all the stories that we tell ourselves.<\/p>\n

Chris<\/span>:\u00a0 I really liked Mr. Fetzers ideas about reality being both dark and light.\u00a0 I\u2019m intrigued with the separation of journalism from the business model.\u00a0 My question is how can Journalism That Matters happen with journalists who are citizens without being tethered to the corporation?\u00a0 Can we overleap the existing model?\u00a0 I also question whether we\u2019re too high minded and serious.\u00a0 There\u2019s an aspect of journalism that\u2019s more blue-collar\u2014sports, weather, obits, crossword puzzles, classified.\u00a0 We need more fun, readability.\u00a0 Thinking of how people receive stories.<\/p>\n

Peggy<\/span>:\u00a0 Interested in the inner life of journalist.\u00a0 The idea of new beats\u2026 mentoring citizen journalists.\u00a0 If questions were asked from another angle, as a practice, the whole thing\u00a0 can be transformed without much cost or other change.\u00a0 It\u2019s a simple experiment that could catch fire.<\/p>\n

Linda<\/span>:\u00a0 Journalists are especially engaged in transmitting meaning.\u00a0 I was struck with the woundedness in the profession, which is shared across other professions.\u00a0 It seems that \u201cformation work\u201d in this profession could be bundled with more outcomes.<\/p>\n

Jim<\/span>:\u00a0 Struck with my own passion around the future of our business.\u00a0 This experience has opened up possibilities for what I do now.\u00a0 I would like to help make a bridge between teaching leadership and more functional visioning within the media profession.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want journalism to collapse completely; it would be bad for the world to go back to the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n

Stephen<\/span>:\u00a0 For the past two years, my burning question has been \u201cWhat is it to be a citizen at this time?\u201d\u00a0 Media has not been very helpful.\u00a0 The blogosphere is throwing a better party.\u00a0 I have a sense of hope that in this work we can remake the \u201cfourth estate\u201d and its role for empowering citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
