The Beat: Basketball. Covering NBA basketball, blog-style.

Reporter: Henry Abbott, blogger at TrueHoop.com.

Description: Henry Abbott  writes….

We’re in!

Your beat blogging project makes sense for TrueHoop, because: We’re
doing a lot of this work already, but haphazardly. I can see that what
you’re describing would be a powerful and intelligent system, and we’d
like to get there quickly, with the power of some collaborative
thinking, rather than inventing the wheel every step of the way. Also,
I love the idea of sharing thoughts with other beat writers who are
engaged in similar work.

About BeatBlogging.org

BeatBlogging.org was a grant-funded journalism project that studied how journalists used social media and other Web tools to improve beat reporting. It ran for about two years, ending in the fall of 2009.

New content is occasionally produced here by the this project's former editor Patrick Thornton. The site is still up and will remain so because many journalists and professors still use and link to the content. BeatBlogging.org offers a fascinating glimpse into the former stages of journalism and social media. Today it's expected that journalists and journalism organization use social media, but just a few years ago that wasn't the case.
