Rise of Analytics: Impacting the Editorial Process?
by Chris Reynolds and Jacob Young
The rapid proliferation of choices at the readers' fingertips for accessing content has made the editor's job more complicated than ever. Behavioral analytics will uncover when readers want what content, where they are when they want it, and if they want it on their phones, tablets, or PCs. Understanding user behavior across these platforms will not only guide the editor on how to deliver digital and mobile content but also offer new insights on how to deliver traditional, offline content to improve the readers' overall experience with the brand.

Rude Awakening: Content Strategy Is Super Hard
by Karen McGrane, Kristina Halvorson, Mark McCormick, Erin Kissane and Joe Gollner
It's official: "content strategy" has become a trendy buzzword phrase that everyone is using to describe everything remotely related to content. SEO content strategy! Social media content strategy! Content marketing content strategy! Wait. This sucks. Weren't we just starting to focus on The Important Stuff? The messy, complicated content stuff that companies have been ignoring for years? What needs to happen now if we're finally going to get this content thing right? Four of the brightest minds in content strategy will tackle some the toughest issues our companies are facing: cross-platform distribution, governance, legacy content, distributed publishing, and trying to prepare our content for future technologies we can't possibly predict. This Future of Journalism Track is sponsored by The Knight Foundation.

Content and Coding Are Not Commodities
by Jennifer 8. Lee, Andrei Scheinkman, Benjamin Balter and Raju Narisetti
Geeks see code as art and content as stuff. Journalists see code as stuff and content as the art. Geeks may say "provide me content" while journalists are like "build this site." With that kind of attitudes, it's hard to get buy-in from the other side. What coders and journalists should understand: they have more in common than not. Both sides are motivated by their craft and a desire to feel that an audience is experiencing their work, whether though prose or programming. They want to work with smart people on interesting problems. Coders and writers are not interchangeable. Great talent can be an order of magnitude more effective than mediocre talent.Though discussions of case studies from The Washington Post, New York Times, Huffington Post and the federal government, this panel will explain from both the journalists' and the programmers' perspectives how to speak a language they will understand.

Content As a Means for Social Change
by Biz Stone and Brian Sirgutz
As social and Internet entrepreneurs search for ways to effect IRL social change by using online tools and platforms, the focus has been on social media. However, while social media has been the Internet's buzzword for some time now, research shows that content consumption actually represents 53% of all time spent online.

Snackable Content: Working in a Bite-Sized Future
by Brad Cohen, Cassondra Schindler, Dean McBeth, Marshall Kirkpatrick and Todd Ames
The future is in Snackable Content, but is that a good or bad thing, and how can it be linked to existing paradigms of content distribution and goals? The Snackable Content panel will cover aspects of the changes that have occurred with regards to the proliferation of mobile, social, and aggregation of content on the web. Making content into bite-sized, beautiful and (ideally) meaningful pieces makes it more likely to be shared, but what should be considered in terms of design, discovery, conversion and community? This panel will consider these ideas from multiple perspectives including social design, web trends, community, and advertising/marketing; along with some purely observational and theoretical perspectives on social networks and sharing. Listen and ask questions to thought leaders from the arenas of new media publishing, design, marketing, local community, international brands; and hear from deep thinkers about the web and network interactions in general.
