Innovation has many enemies in a newsroom. The job of reporting the day's news is a tough one. Budgets are always tight. Technology changes all the time. How can frazzled senior managers know which idea is the best one to pick? In this session, we'll go over strategies to structure and pitch a new idea within a newsroom: a new software tool, an app, a section, a blog. Then, we'll break into groups to start sketching out the idea, and we'll finish by presenting ideas to the room. Ideas created here could be refined further — or built out — during the hackathaon.
