I
have written about 50 top journalism blogs and here is another list of 91 Journalism Blogs and Websites You Will Love that I found from
Bob Stepno through Twitter. In
this post I want to bring your attention to Bob’s own Other Journalism Blog where he
discusses online journalism. It is an excellent resource. I have known Bob
since the early days of the Berkman blog group. Bob now teaches journalism, media
studies, digital culture, and Web production at Radford University in Virginia.
Bob
provides useful coverage of the recent of Editor & Publisher. This
publication was a trade journal for the newspaper
industry,” which, Bob writes, “in recent years has made it a chronicle of the
industry’s decline, while juggling its own print and online editions.” Bob
writes about the need to preserve E&P’s archive for journalism historians
and offers links to other coverage.
There is a nice post on the online, ‘cross-generational’ features of the
new PBS NewsHour. This is another
creative combination of old and new media. PBS merged broadcast
and digital staffs in an expanded newsroom, with part of the goal to
provide reporting, “that is cross-generational, diverse and dynamic.” They have
also created a partnership
with GlobalPost, a Boston-based
network of international correspondents already online as http://globalpost.com.
Bob mentions that, Hari Sreenivasan, a major part of the
broadcast/Web crossover, will write a news commentary blog that will share
links to primary source documents so that viewers can make up their own minds
about stories. This is a nice old-new media combination feature. There is more
about out how the online and broadcast operations are being reorganized by Anna
Shoup, local/national editor of the program at her PBS
MediaShift blog.
