@KarenUnland: I agree Karen -- fear of failure is a paralyzing force for a newsroom. Experimentation involves (in fact requires) failure

As I mentioned before, I'm putting together a presentation called about Social Media/The Globe and Mail. One of the points that I make near the end isn't one directly pulled from the Globe's work, but echoes your last paragraph here: Forget case studies, forget best practices, just go out and do something new and interesting.

I had a recent interview and started down the list of new media innovations and ideas I can bring to a radio company when the interviewer stopped me dead and said "I'm looking to hire a morning man."
He didnt want someone with a diverse list of skills who was trying to break the mold and move things forward. He was looking for a loyal soldier to hit home runs.
Looking forward and being a trendspotter and innovative leader is all wonderful, until you run into someone a rung ahead of you on the ladder merely trying to hang on.
