CyberJournalist reports that the AP is testing three podcasts.

The Times says there may be an Emmy for iPod-size video.

The nonprofit OurMedia.org reports its 50,000th "citizen journalist."

If you have a fast Internet connection, try this illustration-filled how-to about RSS feeds. Plenty of pictures of various feed readers or aggregators. (That last link is to my own somewhat dated reviews of a few of them.)

Oops. I didn't answer Michael Silence's mail fast enough, so I didn't get my name in his News Sentinel piece about blogging. So much for my 15 minutes of fame. But I'm glad to see that Johnny Dobbins was quicker to reply... His new Knoxblogs project is worth watching.

Jon Udell with a podcast and a screencast -- on bloggers and journalists working together.

Word for Word: E is for Euphemism ... and M is for using multimedia to translate a newspaper feature to the Web, except in this case the "Multimedia" is just one big picture of graphically-rendered type. I expected a one-letter-at-a-time animation, or some audio, or something more, well, "multi."

More on the possible future of journalism: I missed Douglass Rushkoff at UT earlier this month and haven't seen anything about his talk in the local papers. I did read his piece about the "do it yourself" culture, and think his model fits "citizen journalism" projects... Good example: See "If I didn't build it, they wouldn't come," by an old Cambridge blogger meeting acquaintance. Both of those items also reminded me of a study of the Pro-am revolution -- on the creative power of "innovative, committed and networked amateurs working to professional standards."

-- Thanks for pointers to a couple of these
from Steve Rubel & John Dube,
as well as the linked & cited sources.
