==The vision: New revenues for news==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;To earn new revenue, news organizations need to quickly migrate their historic role as the most-trusted source of information from the product-oriented print world to a service-oriented digital “ecosystem.” The Information Valet Project at the Reynolds Journalism Institute is organizing an information-industry collaborative to build, own and operate a shared-user network layered upon the basic Internet. The IVP network will:&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*ADVERTISING -- Advance the role, effectiveness of, and compensation for online advertising and marketing services via the ability to deliver targeted, interest-based advertising to individual, known consumers.&lt;br /&gt;
*PRIVACY -- Allow end users to own, protect — and optionally benefit by sharing — their demographic and usage data, with the help of their competitively chosen “information valet” – such as their local newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;
*SOCIAL NETWORK -- Provide a platform for customizing, sharing and personalizing the end-user web experience – a “news social network&amp;quot; with one ID, one passworld, one account and one bill. &lt;br /&gt;
*TRANSACTION -- Allow online users to easily share, sell and buy content through multiple websites with one bill, one account, one ID and password which work at a plurality of participating websites. &amp;lt;h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

“We’ll start creating frameworks in law, governance, marketing, advertising, technology, user identity and transactions for the Information Valet Economy,” says Bill Densmore, IVP project researcher. “It should be a place where companies compete to provide personalized service to users, yet share those users, and where they make money referring those users to content — and advertising — from almost anywhere.”&lt;br /&gt;

The U.S. news industry struggles as print advertising moves elsewhere and web advertising&#039;s double-digit growth sputters. The industry can now rethink and relaunch its relationship with 50 million customers -- to become their &amp;quot;information valet&amp;quot; able to make money whether those users are buying services, information (including music and entertainment) or being paid for web seeking and contact with sponsored messages and advertising. &lt;br /&gt;
*Consumers want a customized experience, but want to control and be compensated for use of demographic and usage profiles. &lt;br /&gt;
*The Internet needs a user-focused system for sharing identity, exchanging and settling value (including payments), for digital information. The system should allow multiple &amp;quot;Information Valets&amp;quot; to compete for and serve customers with varied topical interests and appetites for demographic sharing. It needs a &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;New(s) Social Network.&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
