Nominate the most innovative beat reporters for the Leaderboard

, , ,

We need your help highlighting the most innovative beat reporters in the world for the Leaderboard.

Every day we’ll have new nominees, and every Monday we’ll have a new leaderboard. But we can’t do it alone. Together, however, we can find the most innovative beat reporters. We’re looking for people who are pushing the practice of beat reporting using social networking, blogging and Web tools. 

There are several ways for you to contribute:

  1. Join our Publish2 group — Publish2 is a lot like Delicious but it’s just for journalism. Join our group, submit your best links and we’ll select which ones to nominate each day for the Leaderboard. 
  2. E-mail us – It can be as simple as just sending us a link. If you can explain why this link should be nominated that would be even better.
  3. Twitter — Send me or our beat blogging account @replies and DMs with your links. Or you can reverse the flow of information and ask us why we nominated a beat reporter for the Leaderboard.

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.
