Jeff Jarvis has post about another incubator project in Journalism

in his BuzzMachine blog

The project was over at the Economist magazine. Sounds like they were doing things similar to our project - be open, talk to lots of people, come up with something on the web that was innovative.

he has some good critiques of their process - the biggest complaint was that they didn't come up with a business idea as a philanthropic/social service kind of idea that won't help the magazine's business much in the near or long term.

And he describes (briefly - would love to hear more) a new class he's teaching - on entrepreneurial journalism. The students will have to do this kind of innovation process too.
