What are your must-read links for online journalism?
Thankfully, my book is nearing the finish line of production. One of the final pieces is an appendix I’m working on that will offer readers a list of blogs and Web sites that are, for me, essential reading to stay informed about online journalism.
Because the book can’t be easily updated, and technology and the ways people use it are changing every day, it’s important to give readers a way to stay informed. Help me make the list as comprehensive (but not overwhelming) as possible.
Following is a list of blogs and Web sites that I used in writing the book and frequent on a regular basis to keep in touch with what’s next in journalism. Let me know if you have a suggestion for one that I’ve missed. (Links added 8/22/09 8 a.m.)

Honored to be on the list!!!
Bizarre how there aren’t like 500 replies already. Off the top of my head, I’d add Eat Sleep Publish and Wired Pen (very Seattle-centric, but both good).
A list of essential blogs teaching the skills of Online Journalism and there isn’t a single hyperlink in the story.
Oh, the irony!
I like this list. And I like the Wired Pen site that Paul posted.
Guilty as charged!
As I mentioned in the post, I plan to go in and add links once I finalize the list. Which is another great thing about online journalism: the ability to edit and improve a story.
You’re missing organizations – most especially the Online News Association. It’s the hottest organization out there and their annual meeting is coming up end of September. http://journalists.org/
That is a really useful list, a fair lot I didn’t follow/know existed thx a lot.
Besides your list I also find Publish2′s (http://blog.publish2.com/) blog really interesting and Web2.0h…Really? (http://2ohreally.com/) by Craig Stoltz a good read.
Thanks for the suggestions. I added links to ONA and also Wired Journalist, which was recently acquired by Publish 2.
The most insightful commentary i’ve heard on the digital media revolution is the regular “Rebooting the News” podcast by Jay Rosen and Dave Winer.

Excellent post.
May I suggest the Free Bighow Online Journalism Handbooks, a clearinghouse for best education, tools and advice for online journalists?
