FTC Journalism Workshop March 9-10

The Federal Trade Commission will hold its second two-day workshop on the future of journalism March 9-10, 2010. The workshop will address proposals to better-support and lower the costs of journalism including: 1) changes to copyright law, 2) combining the interests of for-profit and non-profit investors in hybrid entities, such as so-called L3Cs, as vehicles for new media organizations, 3) making government data more accessible and easily managed, and 4) collaboration.
