One item leads to another... In this case, Paul Bradshaw's brief photoblog entry defining Citizen Journalism in a series of photos of a whiteboard reminded me that I haven't been visiting his blog lately.

Here's what I've missed: (Media and society students may focus on the first one; intro-students may skip to the end)

• Citizen journalism: some conclusions from the European Bloggers Unconference
• A model for the 21st century newsroom: pt1 - the news diamond
• A model for the 21st century newsroom pt2: Distributed Journalism
• How to be a journalism student
• Guess which one of these has been crossed off the list? 
  
1. Read the news. 
2. Forget you have an opinion. 
3. Know the difference between news and features. 
4. Make contacts. 
5. Get a life. 
6. Don[base ']t sit around waiting for an email reply
7. Learn how to spell.
8. Be open to new experiences. 
9. Read books.
10. Know what the rules are so you can break them.
11. Know what you want to get out of this - and chase it.

See the details... There have been some changes, cross-outs and editing, so there[base ']s a danger you might skip past a line that says, [base "]Don[base ']t take lists like this lying down, and question everything you read and hear.[per thou] Good advice.
