    Bryan Murley at Reinventing College Media lays out some instructions for covering the campus blogosphere.

    Lex Alexander, Greensboro News-Record citizen-journalism guru, in a post about a community meetup to talk about the paper’s online CJ section: “We frequently get asked why we don’t do X, or whether we have ever thought about doing Y. Regarding Y, the answer is “probably.” But the N&R’s news department has an appetite for doing…

    Now that the SJSU J-School is cooking up a New Media class for next semester, which I’ve suggested should be mostly a practical lab for future online editors, it’s time to start thinking about the next step in revising the curriculum. Which, of course, it’s not my job to do, but I haven’t let that…

    Steve Sloan has posted the second half of the Pizzacast, a discussion about a New Media class to be offered next semester in SJSU’s J-School. I’m going to stand by my idea that this class should be a training ground for Online Editors going on to student media, in the way that the 133 Copy…

    Looks like I won’t be spending any quality time with Nick Kristof anytime soon. Casey Parks, a j-school grad student at the University of Missouri, won the trip to Africa with the New York Times columnist to report/blog/videoblog for NYT and MTV. Read her essay and the musings of the other 12 finalists.

    I had an interesting time last night at the Pizzacast session. It was a small group with a wide range of interests (journalism, public relations, computer science, theater, business, aggregators), and the conversation ranged wildly from the on-topic question of what to teach in the upcoming New Media class at SJSU’s j-school, to some pleasantly…

If you’re an undergrad or grad student planning on taking classes in the department next semester, stop by for a slice (and/or…

    via E&P: Editors from the Washington Post and USA Today talk about “the continuous news desk” and “platform-agnostic coverage” on a panel at an Interactive Media conference. One j-school professor in the audience asked what the panelists were looking for in young journalists — should they already be focusing on multi-tasking, shooting video and the…
