Beat blogging is here to push the practice

Beat blogging is all about making journalism better.

That’s why I’m here.

What we’re ultimately looking to do is to help people transition into the next phase of journalism. We believe the networked journalism principles are a big part of that. Journalism has always had a captive audience, but we’re finally trying to harness it.

The Web is all about a two-way communication between author and user. We want the principles of beat blogging to help you do your job better and more efficiently, while also allowing you to connect better with your audience.

If you’re interested in being a part of this project, please contact me. Also, if you know of beat reporters pushing the practice using Web tools like blogging and social networking, while utilizing the principles of networked journalism and crowd sourcing, please e-mail me links to their work.

I’m here to help make journalism better. Beatblogging.org promises to be a great tool for journalists looking to modernize their beat reporting. This site is your resource.

We’re here to help you become better journalists. If you have a question or need help, please contact us. There will be some exciting changes in store for this project in the coming weeks and months.

Thank you.
