Applying Beat Blogging Principles Elswhere – Wired and Patriot News

,

From Eliot Van Buskirk:

One beatbloggingish thing I’ve done recently though is ask the sf_indie email list what is so wrong with Pitchfork’s reviews.  It didn’t come from my beatblogging network, but it utilized some of the same principles.

I ended up with a great quote

Related from Daniel Victor:

From my network I’ve made contact with people who have contacted me outside of the network to give me information.

ie: The network Daniel set up introduced him to new sources – the subsequent sourcing happened in a traditional one-to-one manner, but Daniel never would have met the new sources if it hadn’t been for his network.

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.
