Imagine....

Imagine:

• A future where our print and web products are seen as two seamless parts of a lively whole;
• A future where our subscribers are not just "readers" but viewers and listeners and commentators and contributors too, active and engaged participants in a continuous flow of information between us and them — their doorsteps and kitchen tables, the home and office computers, their phones and PDA's;
• A future where we can provide our subscribers with an astounding depth of text and photo and graph and table and document and recording — a broad and deep array of vertically organized information they can skim or mine at their leisure;
• A future where our subscribers can use us to organize themselves around interests or geography or tastes and create mediated communities that tie them to us.

Can't imagine that?

You'd better — because if we don't, somebody else will, and they'll be snacking on our lunch before you can say "vacuum tube".

Join the Learning Newsroom's Tech Committee and help plot our own course to the future. Our first meeting takes place on Wed, Oct 5 in the Editorial Boardroom at 2:30 pm.

It's Nov. 3, 2005. Three digital video segments were shot today. One will be posted on the website Nov. 9 as part of Go Sizzle. Two more are screen tests, if you will, of Jeff Mahoney and Lesley Simpson doing digital "takes" on column subject matter. They were great. If you want to sign up and do a video segment of about five minutes, please send tom an email. We will slot you in when we get a camera in the building again in the next little while.
