City University and digital notes

From print to the pixel

I’m giving a talk at City University on ‘Journalism in the Digital Age’ next Monday for Barbara Schofield’s undergraduates.

Here are six articles/resources that I’ve asked the students to read/explore beforehand. They’ve all come from my delicious account, which is now one year old and is starting to be useful.

–

1. British Journalism Review. How SEO is Changing Journalism by Shane Richmond. [link]

2. Online Journalism Blog. Basic Principles of Online Journalism: B is for Brevity by Paul Bradshaw. [link]

3. 100 Best Blogs for Journalism Students [link} (lots of good resources)

4. Save the Media Blog. ‘Old Journalism’ standards that shouldn’t die by Gina Chen [link]

5. Clay Shirky’s Blog. Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable by Clay Shirky [link]

6. Peston’s Picks. What future for media and journalism? By Robert Peston [link]

(Updated with some extra suggestions)

What would you recommend that I add to this list? What are the best articles on the state/future of journalism that you’ve read this year?

Could you add something below? I’ll put it on the list.

You will be compensated with alcohol, cake or chocolate when I see you.
