Future of News / Future Civic Media BarCamps

Welcome to the wiki for designing the Future of News / Future Civic Media barcamp sessions.
I'm going to suggest the following format for each entry:

Title (which is also a link to the more in depth page)

Abstract

Organizer(s)

The title of the session should click through to a more in-depth description and dialog of what will be included in the session, links to preparatory material, etc.

So, for instance, if I were to do a session on my new proposal for a crowd-sourced TV Guide, it might look like

YouTV: The role of participatory television scheduling.

TV guide has shut down its operations in several major cities in the United States, leading to a dramatic increase in clicking during the first five minutes of every prime time hour. How does this effect the screenwriter's guild (lengthened character exposition, increased reliance on flashbacks) and more importantly, advertising revenues? How can citizens band together to provide the episode synopses and critical timing information that help the average American schedule four hours of their every day?
