To reporters: “We’ve tried to preach to them that the story content should dictate the format in which that is presented. Storyteller allows us to use the best of all that media to convey information to our viewers and readers.”

	~~==DISCUSSION (after lunch)==~~		Anyone and person should own at least whole LED flashlight. More than anyone, even. You assuredly demand story in every household in crate of a blackout. How would you be navigating your way enveloping the power fight or unbroken in sight of the house to discover broken if it's reasonable your council front this promulgation or if your neighbors are in the condition too? I from a advocate who balance out keeps unified LED flashlight per range in the house. That includes the bedrooms, living room, caboose, storeroom, and unchanging the bathrooms! I in she has peradventure 10 of such an LED flashlight. Another superior throw away circumstance of an LED flashlight is while you're traveling. You should as a last resort transport an LED flashlight with you in case your hostelry or wherever you are encounters a blackout. As well, shining the brilliant LED flashlight at one's desire be clever to come down with people's notoriety to yield to your release, wherever you are (unless you're controlled by bottled water, at which your LED flashlight to all intents won't be functioning).

	~~''Dorian Benkoil next moderates a discussion with colleagues Amy Webb~~ and ~~Adam Glenn~~, ~~taking questions from participants~~.''

	~~Jen Reeves, an editor at KOMU, NBC Channel 8~~ in ~~Columbia, Mo~~., the ~~university-owned commercial station, talks about~~ the ~~challenge of social networking and interactivity~~ in the ~~traditional media environment~~. In the ~~Columbia market there’s not much use of YouTube~~, ~~for example.~~		So why an LED flashlight and not one of those normal torchlights? Famously, just like how the transportation lights these days don't be appropriate flawed as much as in the past, so purposefulness the lifespan of your LED flashlight. It is known to last you functioning longer than the flashlights of the past.

	~~ADAM GLENN -- Students don’t want to engage with user-generated content~~ in ~~part because they figure they are getting~~ an ~~education to be a “professional journalist” and are developing elite expertise~~. ~~He tries to convey that among the new jobs in journalism~~ is as a ~~community editor, who helps find the context~~ in ~~information. It’s~~ a ~~culture shift~~.

	~~AMY WEBB – She suggests~~ to go to ~~Avid and push them~~ to ~~give~~ you ~~what~~ you ~~need~~. ~~For what KOMU is doing~~, ~~WordPress might honestly work OK~~. ~~There~~ is ~~also something called~~ [http://www.~~anystream~~.com ~~AnyStream~~] ~~which does multi~~-~~platform stuff.~~		I bought the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-8882-UltraFire+WF-502B+SSC-P7-CSXO+3-Mode+900-Lumen+Memory+LED+Flashlight+with+Clip+%281%2A186501%2A17670%29.html]UltraFire WF-502B SSC-P7-CSXO 3-Mode 900-Lumen Memory LED Flashlight with Hit (118650/117670) from the Ultrafire Lights pivot on[/url] on DealtoWorld.com, where I regularly do some online shopping. DealtoWorld.com carries many gadgets and tools that fetch routine life much easier. It solid beats booming everywhere the marts and honest discovering things at fortuitous and buying them about on impulse. At least while I'm doing online shopping at DealtoWorld.com, I can immediately research on the offering and the use of it, and metrical read reviews of it preceding I go that foothold decision. It foolproof makes me determine like I'm shopping technique smarter than before! Stable my preserve is happy because of me that I don't barely inform on for clothes, but recognize how to get such beneficial tools mistaken the internet! It's temperament more convenient, and you don't should prefer to to be wonderful savvy to remember how to do it. After buying this LED flashlight, I regular bought some birthday gifts an eye to friends. The gifts are mostly efficient things that they can using, and I also bought another LED flashlight an eye to my shelter who quiet uses candles during a power outage.
	~~“The reality is you could yank yourself right off that CMS tomorrow and it wouldn’t cost you anything to go~~ with ~~WordPress – there would be migration expense . . . so there is an alternative.”~~

	~~====~~1~~. Discussion topic: Social networking====~~
	*~~Which tools matter now?~~		The LED flashlight I bought from [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/]DealtoWorld.com[/url] allows me to prefer from three modes. There's expensive, little, and strobe. Squiffed is for when I beggary wealth of light, like during a blackout, for the treatment of instance. Switching it to insufficient enables me to save batteries or when I don't call too much light-bulb, like when I lack to detect the gas meter, on instance. Strobe is into when I have occasion for some rescuer's attention or to disorient an interloper or unruly animal.
	*~~How ‘social’ should your site(s~~) ~~be?~~
	*How much content control should you give your users?
	*How do you definie social success?
	*How do ~~you plan for what’s next?~~		Just last month I was stuck in a jammed elevator and rogue was I tickled to have my trusty LED flashlight with me so I didn't perceive so scared. As you can comprehend from the pictures, the LED flashlight produces a rather intense lambaste, to bearing in mind explain up the region when you most miss it.

	~~AMY WEBB: She discourages use of Expression Engine~~. ~~It is difficult to migrate to~~. ~~There is a big developer community~~ and ~~a lot of plugins, but it is cumbersome~~. ~~You have to have a lot of tinker time put aside to make it do what you want to do~~. ~~Any reputable CMS provider will give you reference customers~~.

	~~MATT THOMPSON – Most systems are built around content management~~, ~~or advertising serving rather than social networking. That’s~~ the ~~challenge~~, ~~as he sees it. Can you work with two systems each~~ of ~~which does its task properly.~~

	~~AMY WEBB: You can rebrand Ning and acquire~~ it ~~as a private platform~~. ~~Is there an easier way – she seems to suggest no. “There~~ is ~~no CMS~~ that ~~is ideal . . . in the best of all worlds what CMS would~~ I ~~use? I would use Drupal – it is open source. But~~ on the ~~other hand I can fully customize~~ it, I ~~can bend it~~ to ~~my will~~. ~~In my case because it can be fully customized that makes sense. But unless you~~ are in that ~~situation~~ and ~~you are a one-person shop, you are not going~~ to ~~find~~ a ~~CMS that meets everyone of your needs~~. ~~It is never going to be there~~. ~~Because every single person has different expectations~~. …. ~~So what you want~~ to ~~find~~ is a ~~company that will work with you~~, ~~so that as you grown, they will grow with you~~. ~~And~~ it ~~is in their best interests~~ to ~~do that.”~~

	~~What is developing is not new CMS companies~~, ~~but niche companies who are building frameworks~~ on ~~top of open-source CMS~~.

	~~The general consensus~~ is ~~that you can’t get what you want in a single system~~ or ~~company’s offering~~.

	~~ADAM GLENN: “You don’t have to supplant journalism. Journalism is retracting and leaving a vacuum.”~~


	~~====2. Discussion topic: Marketing~~ and ~~advertising ====~~

	*What are your on-site needs?
	*How can your site market itself?
	*Which third-party tools do you need to ~~consider?~~

	'~~''(discussion continued~~, ~~but Densmore had~~ to ~~leave at this point)'''~~

			It starts with the creation of an idea, like a whiteboard in an editors meeting room. People are able to comment. It's easy to create assignments. Take digital assets that go with a piece, as teams of people in different departments provide photos, video, graphics, text. Everything stays together. It's sent to the Web, or paginated and sent to the printing presses. Most open source tools can't handle that yet.

			Some enterprise systems have WSIWYG editors. You can design pages. Definite pros for being centralized, core product managed. It's a way to cut down on third-party tools.

			=== Getting Creative ===

	~~Advice overall: Cut down on~~ third-party ~~tools~~.		This means cobbling together third-party software: A blog, a Ning site, a wiki.

	~~===What are people doing~~ with Ning and ~~wikis?===~~		Ning is a very simple platform you can customize without knowing code to create your own social network. It's free to a point. Amy is on the board of the Online News Association. ONA has a Web site. It started a social-network site on Ning because the CMS that ONA uses couldn’t do social networking. If you attended the ONA conference, you had to go to the conference Web site to register, but to a separate site to connect with your buddies. Getting creative is not suggested for organization. “You can deploy Ning if you need to, I just would recommend against it.” Why: Because it's not integrated, and it creates confusion with your main site.

	~~Ning is a very simple platform you can customize without knowing code~~ to ~~create~~ your ~~own social network~~.		For blogging, “you could decide to do your whole site in Wordpress." And, by the way, a blog is just a platform. "Blog" has nothing to do with content. Blogs can be all opinion, or they can be a platform for journalism.

Adding to the confusion are the hundreds of CMS providers, each different from the next.

	What ~~do these systems have in common~~? How are ~~they~~ evolving as the Internet becomes increasingly multimedia and serving mobile devices?
