Here are a list of questions Doc put up before the workshop:

• What's news?
• What's next for newspapers?
• Does a paper need to be printed with ink in order to be a "paper"?
• How can a paper make money online? Is advertising the only way?
• Will advertising survive as a funding source in any case?
• Do we need subscriptions when readers can get all kinds of editorial goods for free?
• How can the daily or weekly heartbeat of a paper work with the right-now nature of online publication?
• What are the synergies between local papers and other media, such as radio and TV stations? How can we build them?
• How can papers work with citizen journalists (bloggers, stringers)?
• Where do blogging (and for that matter, podcasting) fit in, anyway?
• Is there still a good reason to lock up archives (or any editorial)? What are the plusses and minuses there?
• How can technology costs be avoided or minimized?
• Can a paper avoid being "locked into" a publishing platform?
• What are the success stories out there? Failure stories too.
• Can a "newspaper" exist entirely as a Web publication, and sustain itself as a business?
• Which traditional newspapers are world-class examples of using the Web effectively?
• Why do people read traditional, local newspapers?
• When internet access is more available on public transit, will paper newspapers become obsolete?
• What are the lessons other local Web-based information delivery services have learned?
• Can Websites replace traditional newspapers as cultural institutions in our communities?
• What opportunities exist to marry social networking with traditional news publications on a local level?
• Traditional newspapers have become defacto monopolies in many cities; how is the increased competition going to affect that?
• How can newspapers serve their communities more effectively?
