Some links for the day…
— James Rainey of the LA Times notes that the nonprofit news venture Voice of San Diego “shows how investigative journalism can be done for relatively cheap. They’re even having fun.”
— David Cohn, a prototypical 20-something journalist who started Spot.Us (and who also gave this class a nice endorsement last semester), has a new idea for newspapers: how about a newsroom cafe to encourage public input? “Aside from being a revenue stream (coffee, bagels, etc) it would create a deeper connection between the news organization and the public. Could story tips be garnered this way? Perhaps it would be a great way to meet and encourage citizen journalism partners.”
— From the U.K., a story on how Washington journos are using Twitter. Some good links in there if you’re looking to follow some big-name reporters.
