11:30 a.m. -- Briefing: A work in progress: Building the InfoValet Economy
- Moving from mass markets to mass customization, from gatekeeper to "information valet" is an urgent task for traditional print and broadcast news organizations. Reynolds Fellow Bill Densmore, InfoCard's Paul Trevithick, CircLabs' Jeff Vander Clute and Martin Langeveld present present a work-in-progress concept solution addressing user privacy, interest-based advertising, customized news and multi-site subscription networks -- including a proposed launch timetable. What's missing? A Q&A follows.

- The Jack Morton Auditorium and adjacent foyer offers the space during lunch for participants to caucus and agree on critical topics to propose for discussion during one round of concurrent, group-called breakout sessions in the afternoon.

- Missouri School of Journalism grad student Emily Sussman will discuss past, present and future experiments with paywalls around news and information. Will the massive popularity of aggregation websites keep news and information (mostly) free to consumers, or will an emerging newspaper consortium usher in the second (and perhaps, successful) generation of paid content? The presentation will explore these questions in light of the web's post-scarcity economy. A vigorous Q&A will follow. (Followups can be emailed to ews8tb@gmail.com)
