We are proposing experimenting with new ideas by having Media Consortium members submit project pitches that would be posted for donors to directly fund, rather than donating to general operating budgets, in order to foster innovation, transparency, and allow donors more control over where their money is spent. This approach stems from principles of agile development where it is better to fail early with smaller experiments rather than debating ideas.

Innovate or die
(A little harsh)
Trying new stuff us fun!!!

3. Why Experiment?
Rule of the Internet: It is cheaper and
easier to try something than to debate.
Stems from “Agile and Iterative”
development. Fail early and fail often.

9. The Theory of Donating
People donate to NPR or some Media Consortium
Organizations all the time. What’s the big idea?
Throwing money over a wall
vs......

10. Transparency and Control

13. Not that hard to Picture.
Imagine this page filled with pitches from
Media Consortium members from around the country.
