Journalism sudents need the right tools — and skills — for the kinds of careers and opportunities they’re really going to be making for themselves.
Picking up on my post yesterday, Univ. of Florida journalism professor Mindy McAdams challenged me (and her other readers) to translate my quick list of what j-schools [...]

Many blogs, like this one, have posted the full W-list with links. Is that really a good thing?
Lately there’s been a meme going around called the “W list” — a lengthy list of links to high-quality blogs published by women.
As far as I’ve traced it back, the kernel of this movement began with [...]

MSU prof Dave Poulson wants to lead his students into the murky waters of online media.
(NOTE: I’m cross-posting this from Poynter’s E-Media Tidbits, since I thought Contentious readers might find it interesting as well.)
Today I received an intriguing query from my colleague Dave Poulson, associate director of the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism at Michigan [...]

Wiki maven Liz Henry of SocialText.
At the unconference segment of BlogHer 2007 in Chicago, I sat in on a small-group discussion about wikis (sites that can be collaboratively edited either by a defined group, or by anyone at all).

Editing the wiki during this workshop was really easy.
As I mentioned earlier, yesterday I gave a workshop about current trends in online media to about a dozen staffers at New Hope Media here in Boulder. In that workshop I tried something new: using a wiki as a presentation tool.
Wow, that worked really well, I think! [...]

Over the last few days I (and a few other people) have been adding to the BlogHer 06 live/post blogging coverage wiki. It now features dozens of links. I won’t have a chance to add much to it over the next few days, and I know there are plenty of items that aren’t on there yet which should be.
This is an open public wiki, so if you know of a link that should be on there but isn’t yet, please click "edit page" to add it. Thanks!
Just a quick note – I’m continuing to update the BlogHer 06 live blogging wiki I created yesterday. If you attended BlogHer in person or virtually and blogged it, or come across such coverage, please stop by and add it to the wiki.
I’ve organized the wiki according to the conference schedule. General post-mortems appear at the end of the list.

Since so many blogHer 2006 attendees are live blogging this event, I thought it would be easier to track this coverage via a wiki rather than simply scrolling down the list of pre-assigned live bloggers. So I built one…
