My latest project has finally launched: Journalism.me. Please, check it out and share the link.
The project actually came from a tweet by Jay Rosen, who wanted to know if a list of 20-something year old journalism bloggers existed. To my knowledge, none existed at the time.
I set out to create a definitive — but [...]
With the news that Ariana Huffington plans to take the Huffington Post local by aggregating news around geographic locations, I began to think how her plan to start this effort in Chicago would affect the already tumultuous media climate in the Windy City.
Huffington, who rocks not one but TWO Blackberrys, doesn’t just see her city-specific [...]
As AngryJournalist.com hit its 5,000th comment mark yesterday, I began to think more about comments on the web and the lack of consensus on how news organizations approach the concept of online conversations.
The main problems with comments stem from two areas: identity and filtering.
Comment identity
I remember in my first journalism class I was fortunate enough [...]
Because so many of my friends demanded it (or at least thought it was a good idea), I’ve created a few T-shirts for AngryJournalist.com:

There’s been quite a bit of negativity and despair coming from college students at AngryJournalist.com and it’s bothered me quite a bit. While I wouldn’t [...]
Newspapers might be dying, but that doesn’t mean print is dead.
Each week, I spend between $15-25 on comic books, which range from $3-4 per issue.
Each month I probably spend $10-25 on books that probably will just sit on my shelf for years unread.
Yet, each day I refuse to spend even 25 cents [...]
I’ve already Twittered, Facebooked, and del.icio.us-ed HelpAReporter.com, but Peter Shankman has put together a really helpful Web site that could use as much attention as possible.
The site is a listing of publicists and P.R. professionals that sign up to receive queries from journalists looking for sources. It’s a simple concept that started as a Facebook [...]
This week AngryJournalist.com broke the 2,000 comment barrier and has seen more than 125,000 page loads and 64,000 unique visitors. As my friend stated, the Web site has officially become of a bit of a meme. Here’s a list so far:
+ HappyJournalist.com - I thought this would happen eventually. Although, as Gawker and others have [...]
A few friends of mine asked me why I refused to put up advertising on AngryJournalist.com, even something as simple as a few text ads from Google AdSense despite it being relatively successful in terms of traffic. I have a few reasons for this.
First, I really dislike advertising. I run the Adblock plugin on [...]
It’s been two weeks since I announced the launch of AngryJournalist.com and since that time the site has exceeded every expectation I held for it. However, it comes with a mixed feelings about its so-called success, and I still see no solution for the problems that plague the journalism industry.
In just half a month, the [...]
