Once again, a list of links to articles I’ve been perusing on the Internet:

The Black Sheep – via the CMA Listserv, a humor newspaper targeted at college students. The site is apparently recruiting students to help produce publications targeted at specific universities around the country, and they’ll probably be soaking . . . → Read More: Stuff I’ve been reading

Housekeeping, random links

linksHousekeeping note: I’ve changed the format of the blog back to an earlier template. Those of you who’ve been reading for a while will notice something familiar. While the Mimbo theme we were using was a pretty good magazine-style theme, there were some bugs, and until I find a magazine theme I like better, we’re reverting to a traditional blog-style theme.

Tonight, I get to find out what is “The Future of Journalism.” I’m excited! I’ll let you know what I find out soon. In the meantime, here are some curated links to tide you over:

Break is over: The future of journalism, and some curated links

linksWe’re back from Spring Break here, and I’m hitting the ground running. This Wednesday, I’ll be participating in a panel discussion on “The Future of Journalism” here at EIU, joined by the Journerdist himself, Will Sullivan, along with John Foreman, publisher of the News-Gazette of Champaign-Urbana, Ill. and Nancy Foreman, executive producer at WCIA-TV3 in Champaign. Jeff Lynch, interim dean of the EIU College of Arts and Humanities will moderate. Should be an interesting event, and I’ll post audio or video once it’s over.

Then, this weekend, I’ll be assisting with the APME/MPI NewsTrain workshop in Arlington Heights, Ill. (details here) The faculty is pretty impressive. Mark Briggs will be there, as will Derek Willis, whom I’ve interviewed, but never met in person. I hope to have some short videos available from that workshop as well.

Meanwhile, here are some random links to start the day off right.

7 links: Interns, paywalls, cleverness, failure, Flash, press conferences and internships

Housekeeping: I’m in the midst of heavy revision of my dissertation draft, so posting will likely be light over the next few weeks unless something big breaks.

Reminder: Feb. 1 is the deadline for applications for the Spring 2010 CICM internship. $500 stipend. Work from anywhere. Write about the future of college media.

A plea for help, housekeeping, and surfing the RSS feeds

As you probably already know, Haiti suffered a devastating 7.0 earthquake on Jan. 12. You can find some pretty comprehensive information about relief efforts at this Washington Post list. If you have some money to spare, there are some people who could put it to good use.
