This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire.
But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends.

Opening Remarks John Greenberg

Mr. Greenburg - Prepared power point presentation
Begins Argus character of Greek mythology. Watched cows, had many eyes, specific job, Greenberg implies that this is how a media producer should be.
NHPR-> goes to public -> asks them to tell NHPR what they see-> read reports -> and have a conversation about them.
This is the model for Media Producers to be Responsible.
People put information in central processing point. Web based. Feeds info out to Schools, Media and Civic organizations. To give it back out the public.
This model has these listed benefits
A new way to see the big picture
A new way to see the local picture
Values and empowers citizens
Empowers civic organizations
Provides new starting points for discussion.
Should not be opinions of the public, should be observations
Central processing point has to be the right technology to help anyone be involved. Organizations job is to define the norms and create meaning, act as a Venn Diagram.
Key Outcomes of this Model
Embed the standard: Description over opinion
More centers that gather quality information
