Must-bookmark journalism sites?

slatter · May 18, 2008

Obviously SportsJournalists.com is atop the list.

As for someone looking for a job, MediaBistro.com, JournalismJobs.com, APSE's Job Bank (http://apse.dallasnews.com/job_board/apse_job_board.html) and Poynter's Career Center (http://careers.poynter.org/search/results/) are must-haves.

Newsroom101.com is good for keeping in journalism shape.

There's a ton of sites for finding sport statistics, but I'm more on the track of finding jobs and other helpful resources for sports journalists that you guys might frequent.

Not jobs, but as far as essays and links about the craft, etc., etc., I love the Harvard University Niemann Journalism Foundation site (I know that's not exactly what it's called, but if you Google Harvard and Niemann, you'll get there).

They put out an excellent magazine that's free online, and they have a whole separate site devoted to narrative journalism that is terrific.

For pure inspiration: Pulitzer.org

Here's a page with a few links you might find helpful.

I might even mention craigslist, more for freelance/web/magazine work than newspapers.

Here's the narrative digest...

Also, for writing/narrative talk and inspiration: www.gangrey.com

www.newsthinking.com has some interesting thoughts on the craft, too.

Damn, Newsroom101.com is awfully humbling.

I didn't do as well on some of the tests as I would have expected. I'm going to keep practicing. Thanks for the heads-up.

Tell me about it. I consider myself a grammar buff (at least, among my friends) and I got punished on some of those tests.
