One of the next big things for journalism and news organizations, in my opinion, is the rise of the knowledge management system. At the moment, most content management systems store content in a very generic "article" format and only systems like OpenCalais attempt to make sense of the aggregate. With a Knowledge Management System, the editorial workflow is such that the data is stored as structured by default, and the aggregate of the data becomes more useful as time goes on.

It's be sweet to have a sesh dedicated to birthing the unicorn.
