Online Journalism News0
The UK based website Journalism.co.uk, is by far the most crucial website for journalists. This website is definitely worth monitoring on a long term basis. I know from now on I will be keeping daily tabs on it.
Covering breaking news by the minute, the website offers in-depth information on all the top stories. Providing RSS feeds, blogs, industry related job advertisements, events, directory assistance, training and all the other must know info in the journalism world. It truly is your one stop shop on journalistic information.
Providing a knowledge based section with how to do tips on RSS and writing on the Web are worth while reads. It gives you a chance to brush up on your skills.
I must admit my favourite section was the forum. Judy Gordon commented on the convergence in the newsroom which really put into perspective a point which many journalists share. ‘A multimedia newsroom to boast about, but costly in terms of job cuts, sickness and stress.’
I cannot get over the depth of information this website provides for a journalist. I am enriched with so much worth while info; imagine if I was actually in the UK how far it could actually drive me. Does Australia provide such a website for journalists? NO! What a shame I know, maybe an idea someone can play around with, now wouldn’t that be great.
