Alan:
 
You might find this initiative in Chicago - the Flashpoint Academy  - of 
interest.  It is a two year post secondary school for folks interested  in 
developing real skills in multimedia skills.  Its educational elements  could be 
driven down, in parts and at introductory levels, into the K-12  curriculum.

And then Journalism 2.0 funded by Knight:
 
_Outline to  Journalism 2.0_ (http://www.kcnn.org/resources/journalism_20/)  
 
_Journalism 2.0_ (http://www.j-lab.org/Journalism_20.pdf)  
 
These efforts could be construed to bringing digital media skills  to large 
numbers of "intermediaries" and then to the mass  markets.
