PressThink

I'm including Jay Rosen's PressThink site in my paper so I thought I would pass it along here. Here's a description of the site - basically it's an exploration of the role of the media and specifically as it relates to technology. 

I was accepted to both NYU and College Park for grad school and were it not for the poverty factor of moving to Manhattan AND going to a hugely expensive private school, I would really have liked to work closely with him in NYC...cool stuff. 

This is his related site on open-source reporting, NewAssignment.net. 

And....finally, BeatBlogging.org. 

When people ask me what I want to do with my shiny new journalism career, I should really point them to these sites, because it's hard to describe some of it beyond "cover stuff in innovative ways using the Internet." I'll know it when I do it, I guess.
