For IP'ers who are concerned about the future of journalism. This conference is free, but you must us a credit card to register and agree to pay if you do not attend. A sign of the times, I guess. I've edited Mei Lin's original announcement for brevity.

I am writing to invite you to the 6th Innovation Journalism Conference: Journalism succeeding with innovation. IJ-6 will explore how innovation can change the face of journalism at this critical time when business models for news are in flux, traditional newpapers are exploring new media forms, and traditional newspapers are disappearing at a great rate. The conference is organized and run by the researchers and journalists of the VINNOVA Stanford Research Center of Innovation Journalism. IJ-6 is a meeting place to discuss how journalism and innovation come together: how journalism affects innovation, how innovation affects journalism, how journalism covers innovation, and the market for it.
This three day Stanford University conference with outstanding speakers and great workshops is, amazingly enough, free of charge! You will be charged only if you register and don’t attend. The Keynote for the conference will be given by Vint Cerf, Chief Evangelist of Google and “Father of the Internet”.
Register at http://ij6.innovationjournalism.org/ Pick any of the 3 days if you cannot attend the entire program. May 18th and 19th are limited to 180 attendees so register as soon as possible.
