Subject: A QUICK REQUEST: How did JTM-PNW help sustain and advance journalism?

To all JTM-Pacific Northwest participants:

Thank-you for your patience, enthusiasm, stamina, ideas -- and new friendships -- over the last four days. Within about a week, please watch for a thoughtful email asking for your detailed feedback. But here's an "unofficial" short request for immediate reponse.

Have you filed your session reports yet?

• Post Friday session notes
• Post Saturday session notes
• Post Sunday session notes

For the Reynolds Journalism Institute blog, and to meet other requests for news about JTM-PNW, can you please email a quick reply to these questions?

1. What's the key takeaway from JTM-PNW for U.S. journalism?
2. What will happen, what will change, as a result of JTM-PNW?
3. What will you be doing?

I'll collect our responses and put them here:

http://wwww.newshare.com/wiki/index.php/Jtm-pnw-journalism

Also, below are some helpful links.

• This is the main wiki page. You'll find a lot of resources linked off from there.
• For now, the best summary of committed projects/initiatives growing out of Journalism That Matters-Pacific Northwest is this Flickr set. It shows a "map" created by visual artist Steven J. Wright which lists outcomes. Here's the main map view and a link to pieces of the map for easier viewing.
• This link will take you to JPEGS of session reports.
• This link goes to a list of the committed projects. (written session reports are not yet filed)
• And if you've got 25 minutes you can watch the project proponents describe what they're going to do in this video archive.
• From an agenda-setting point of view, these three talks on Thursday evening were inspirational.
• Here's a link to KUOW's Thursday-AM talk-show discussion about the conference.
• You're welcome to copy and use, with or without attribution, any of the photos I took.
• Here is the general link to the video archives (which are not that well documented yet).

Thanks,

-- bill
