At the local level, a team of media activists established the Davis Wiki as a new model of crowd-sourcing the sustainable creation of local news and information. Can they help to spread the model to other communities?

4:45pm - 5:15pm: Wrap up - Laura Flanders
The rapidly changing media environment engages unexpected strategic partners in new, transformative ways. Multi-platform strategies and the extension of the reach and life of media projects are now becoming commonplace realities. New partnerships are changing the way media products - news and entertainment, movies and television, online and in print - are being created. Distinctions between entertainment, marketing and editorial content are blurred beyond recognition. And the explosion of individual expression continues unabated.
What is the role for traditional media in an era dominated by new media innovation? And how do legacy and future interact? Where are the promising investments? What is the role for philanthropy in promoting the public interest in the new media landscape? And who deserves contributions from Viewers Like You?
Digital media natives are using myriad publishing outlets to smash through previous notions of scarcity around audience and distribution. The trusted source of the nightly news anchor has given way to the random recommendations of everyone on Facebook or LinkedIn. But what are the new revenue models for news and entertainment when Everyman is Editor-in-Chief? What are the new revenue models for content when the prevailing price is free? Who pays? Who gets paid?
Some of the largest Internet enterprises have demonstrated that it is possible to generate sizable and sustainable revenue and massive media reach and still maintain a clear social mission. How do they do it and what are they doing next?
