2 articles to consider asyou work on your ideas

these are the sort of links I expect you guys to be posting - if you're not out there looking for new ideas, new tools, new thinking about news - then you're not doing your job. Research, post.

From Terry Heaton (PoMo Blog) - http://www.thepomoblog.com/papers/pomo68.htm about how news of the future has to go niche, news organizations cannnot be everything to everybody (might be interesting to play with the niche idea with your politics idea - go deep on politics)

and

from the NYTimes - about how Wikipedia is being used to create news, how people (ordinary people, not the journalists who some of the people who left comments on your ideas think are the ultimate arbiters of quality) put up well-thought out, footnoted news analysis - - - and the high point is that many of the people doing lots of hte posting and editing of these news articles are young people, the folks the news guys are trying to atract.
