Journalism Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership
Jose Zamora is a Journalism Program Associate at Knight Foundation
Stanford University announced today the 2009-2010 U.S. Knight Fellows. In response to the demands of the media landscape, the 44 year old fellowship program established a new focus for the program that seeks journalism innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership. The Knight Fellowships Program Committee selected 12 journalists out of 166 applicants. The new fellows will develop projects that seek to speed media innovation through the use of news, information, new business models and technology.
What do you think journalism programs should be focusing on?

Less innovation, more content and old school reporting.

Thank you for your comment David! Content and old school reporting with principles and values are must. That is what journalism is all about - quality content to provide a public service - the service of accurate information to make the best decisions in you daily community life and hold your government accountable. My only question is: "How do you find new ways to reach your community, to interact with it and engage it without innovation and entrepreneurship?"
Does anyone have an answer or an opinion about this?
