You should talk to people you don't know, you never know what kind of interesting story they may have to tell. And journalists really need to listen to their audience, so that they can report on stories important to their readers. The future of journalism is the same as past journalism- report important facts for your community. The only part that has changed is the medium in which it is written. I love number 1.

She goes on to write: "as newspapers were bought up by big corporations and clumped into feedlots like so many over-doped beef cattle. Newspapers stopped covering the day-to-day factual matters that concern people — the details about where they work, live, attend schools and churches/mosques/temples. As circulation numbers were pumped up by expanding the supposed “coverage area,” what really happened was that less and less of what matters to people was, in fact, covered." Go Mindy!

It seems that the best journalist is going to be an "embedded" one, as it were. She or he is going to have a living presence within the community they serve. It is dangerous to think that people "in general" have given interests independent of their particular lives and concerns. I have found some interesting interviews and discussions touching upon these issues at: http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid69 Their attempt to get into sight journalism's future, including the importance of the specificity of community, has been helpful to me in much of my reflection upon these issues.

The other two may have been good, but they would have required us to have bureaus far from Greensboro. Whatever. You're absolutely correct that it let us know a few things that people were thinking about that we weren't (and should have been). Three were good ideas and one had potential.
