J-Schools: Breeding Ground for Fertile Failure | The Future of News
As we say in programming, a null response is a response. When something fails, we always learn something from it. Here is a very smart post from Ryan Thornburg about how Journalism Schools can use failures to push forward into the future.
Universities, where failure leads both to the creation of new ideas as well as the ability to shed old ideas, should be ideal partners for risk-averse news organizations. Here are a few ideas about how journalism schools can be breeding grounds for fertile failure.

It seems a good suggestion. The very extent to which news organizations are risk-averse is only adding to the price that they are going to have to pay for all the changes which are inevitably occurring in journalism. The entire field is going through a period of reinvention and the major news organizations are dragging their feet as much as possible, not the best strategy when at least some of the problems the industry is facing are derived from loosing your audience because people no longer feel you are providing what they want or need. There are some great interviews with top journalists about the future of journalism at http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid69 which I have found useful on these subjects.
