BeatBlogging.Org is out of funding

Our funding has officially run out, which is why things have been quiet on here lately.

I still have some more content coming and some house keeping to take care of. We are looking for new partners (particularly academic institutions), and are working on some things behind the scenes. It could be awhile before we have funding or backers again, but in the meantime, I’ll try to keep the light on here.

The site itself and all its content will remain up indefinitely, and there will be new content appearing here, just on a slower time frame.

Thanks for everyone who read the site and helped us report. BeatBlogging.Org has been a great success because of you.

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.
