Commercial Appeal editor Chris Peck says news for the 21st century will be generated by the people who are chosen, not the chosen people; will be more a conversation about making sense of the world, less of a sermon from on high; and will rely on the wisdom of the many, not the insight of the few, with journalists being knowledge leaders.
