One thing I'd love to talk about is how the CNC business model could be scaled up or applied elsewhere to ensure all media (newspapers, TV, web etc) have access to high quality local journalism. Essentially all our public radio stations have their own correspondents on Capitol Hill - producing original, exclusive and highly customized content - for a fraction of the price they would have to pay to have their own Bureaus or stringers. The model is unique, it is highly efficient, it's nonprofit (but doesn't necessarily have to be), and has promise with potential applications elsewhere.

I am also interested in ways old / new media can collaborate to create custom content...

And how new technologies are allowing the creation of true hybrids between citizen journalism and professional journalism. CNC is in the forefront of that too, with AskYourLawmaker.org - and the way we are moving that forward to be a real collaboration around stories over time.
