Reynolds Journalism Institute aims to answer at least one key question: "In valuing their privacy, what will consumers trade for, in terms of goods or services?"
Or, "What is the market for privacy?"

While an initial study of existing literature is complete, the group has not finalized survey questeions and thus "Blueprint" participants will be able to discuss the implications for journalists, government regulators, news consumers and citizens before the study queries are
final.
