The J-Lab at American University has been looking at the future of journalism and interactive journalism for a number of years, including funding a number of experimental start-ups. Jan Schaffer's posted a short blog entry summarizing the take-away points from a recent session on "Re-Imagining Journalism" with a number of young journalists. They were phrased as ten benchmarks:
1) Challenge knee-jerk master narratives
2) Reach for new kinds of accountability
3) Add historical context
4) Impart a sense of community, sense of place
5) Seek authenticity
6) Have impact
7) Make the invisible visible
8) Strive for attachment vs. detachment
9) Do less harm
10) Anticipate the future
