1. Kind if like Tumblr for news sources. That way you can just scroll through what other people have been reading/posting and see if anything catches your eye. Then you can re-post that article so you can save ti for later. A lot of times I'll say "oh, I read about that in an article... but I can't remember where..." so with this Tumbr-news idea, you can save articles, videos, tweets, etc. about what you're reading and what you're interested in.
2. Meet and greet a newsroom. I think one of the main image issues journalism has is that they are behind the scenes. Journalists (not TV anchors) are just a name in a paper to many people, the story is what matters not the person who wrote it. But I think it would be fun to have an "open house" day for newspapers or news organizations where the public can go in, meet the writers and editors and see what goes into producing the daily news. I think this would eliminate some of the mystery of journalism and make it more accessible to residents.
