• Univ of Kansas has the Lawrence World as its model for the world or work, and that is a critical influence on the j school curricula. Why is the Lawrence World better than Tampa -- smaller operation which is figuring it out on a real budget, not like Tampa where they had lots of $$ to underwrite their efforts.
• smaller markets are using canned web programs, like the Knight-Ridder or Media General, so students web expy with more creative tools will be constrained because students will have to cut and paste their stories into the canned template kind of interface.
• The faculty who want to converge may need to work harder, because some of the faculty may not do anything. It takes extra work on the part of the interested people. Should be able to backlog stuff as we go, so we can start to re-use material after the hectic start-up time.
• We don't know how things will work out. The "formula" of the print newspaper and the tv news are just that-- formula-- and that can change easily. No more newscasts, for example, instead, periodic updates.
• What have they learned? 1. Start early in their education e.g. web pages in Intro classes 2. Pair up faculty to facilitate the intro of multimedia into different existing classes 3. Get over the fear that the students will know more than I do as a faculty 4. Each fac work from their own vision of what the future of the newsroom will be in 10 years -- the kids will be the managers.
