Journalism links

Following is a list of sites for blogs, discussions, etc. I believe most of these are still around, but blogs form and die rapidly on the Internet. Please let me know if you try to find one of these and its gone, or if you find one you’d like to add.

Must reads, important journalism blogs that I look at most days.

Jim Romenesko's listing of journalism news. The letters column often has great discussions.

iwantmedia.com offers daily new media headlines. Well worth keeping up with.

Jay Rosen of New York University’s blog often has thoughtful commentary and provacitive discussions.

Journalism.org: lots of journalism news

Editor & Publisher, industry magazine online edition (don’t have to be a subscriber).

Huffington Post’s media section, often liberal, but biting reviews, insights and news from the world of news media.

Innovation in College Media is a thoughtful blog about journalism, journalism education and college media. It offers lots of links to good ideas and examples.

Online reviews

Columbia Journalism Review online
American Journalism Review online.

Poynter Institute online, lots of good stories and great links. Spend some time going through the various archived columns.

Freedom Forum: News from the media world.

Discussions of many journalism topics

Common Sense Journalism: A U. of South Carolina prof’s good blog. Much on professional journalism.

Interesting discussion of links between journalism and democracy.

Discussion mostly of television news with the emphasis on reporting news.

USA Today’s media columnist.

Media News, including lots of magazine news.

Blogs devoted mostly to online journalism

An uneven blog worth checking regularly.

General discussion of online.

Review of online journalism topics.

Offers advice and links to many stories and blogs about online topics.

Another blog on online journalism with lots of information (especially online design).

Thoughtful blog posts on multimedia and online matters.

A blog devoted, it says, “to online storytelling.”

Tools, design, copy editing

Newslink.org links to virtually all online newspapers and magazines worldwide (started as a Marquette master’s project).

Front pages from more than 500 newspapers worldwide. Updated daily.

Wonderful blog of the world’s news designers. You can see what’s going on in the US and overseas along with discussion of it. Mostly newspapers.

A blog on legal issues for bloggers.

Lots of commentary on journalism, also where to get reliable numbers online. See also, the Wall Street Journal’s numbers guy’s blog.

Ask the Associated Press' stylebook editor.

American Copyeditors’ Society, lots of good stories and links. See also the group’s discussion board. And see also more discussion about copy editing at the Testy Copy Editors' group site.

It's primarily about copy editing, but includes some thoughts on the larger issues faced by editors.

Covers lots of newspaper topics, but is best at discussing newspaper and magazine cover design.

Site of the legendary Bong Bull, a cranky, irreverent copy editor’s discussion of his craft. No longer active, but I’d recommend anyone interested in editing to look at the archives. Besides, they're fun.

Getty Images photographers discuss photography.

Misc. columns, sites, etc.

Offbeat thoughts on journalism. A lot of good ideas.

Very interesting collection of posts on journalism from a man who says he does journalism as a hobby.

Odd but intriguing collection dedicated to grassroots journalism.

A personal blog commenting (and reporting) news from the news media.

Very fun place to read about media’s mistakes

Many subjects, including some on journalism.

Annual report on state of the media includes lots of data. Should be read by all journalists

The future -- and its dilemma

The San Francisco Bay Guardian Online offers its take on journalism's future. Basically, it says there'll be good journalism in the future -- the Huffington Post is cited as an example -- but the problem is finding a business model to pay for it. Frankly, I agree.
