Help us find social media news

unclesam

We’ve started our new social media link journalism effort today, and we think it could be much better with your help.

If you help us out and send us tips to worthwhile social media news that might interest journalists and journalism organizations, we’ll link to your blog, personal site or Twitter account (your choice). Help us out, we’ll give you a shout out and send some traffic your way.

The content you  link to doesn’t have to be directly about how journalists can use social media. It just has to be something that you think journalists could use. We’re looking for links to blog posts and videos about social media and also tips about new social media services.

Sending in tips is easy. You can send @replies and DMs to @MsBeat on Twitter, join our Publish2 group dedicated to social media, send me tips on Delicious or send me (@jiconoclast) @replies and DMs on Twitter. If social media isn’t your game, you can e-mail me at connect [at] patthorntonfiles [dot] com. Your choice.

    Hi Patrick, I just requested to join the Publish2 group.

    Here’s the URL – looks like there’s a bit of extra code in your link above.

    Cheers,

    @Andrew,

    Thanks for the tip. The link was correct in my post, but the whole paragraph was messed up somehow. It took me awhile to figure out what was messing the whole thin up. It should be displaying everything correctly.

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.
