Hi,

I'm rather obsessed with Olivier Reichenstein of http://informationarchitects.jp
views over the future of news (cca 2007):

Their take on (collaborative) Newspapers as Wikis

The way they failed to get some crazy ideas across to a real
newspaper, which is interesting not just as the concepts they preached
but also as a communication issue between an interactive agency and a
publisher.

His work with Craig Mod on THE TPUTH

And the latest explorations on how news should be on iPad

and the discussion on the Wired app:

I believe that it might be very fruitful to get him in one of the
classes (he's based in Tokyo) to present from the newspaper as wikis
to the iPad and magazines issues things.

Thanks,
