The project's emphasis on "big thinkers" was also a flaw. How about perspectives from the journos in the trenches actually living with the changes? As one of those journos, I'm tired of all these blueprints and vision documents. Give me practical advice on how I can connect better with the public and incorporate their insights into what I do -- and how to make this happen under the constraints of bureaucracy. There is too much top-down in NAN's approach, and not enough communication with the humble grassroots who are the editorial side's main point of contact with the public.

I forgot to clarify that I'm with the Newspaper Association of American and worked on the "Imagining the Future of Newspapers" essay project. Sorry if that was confusing to anyone out there. P.S.

We didn't mean for it to be an ongoing, project. (And it was the Newspaper Association of America, not NNA.) Thanks for the refer, though. Jeff,
