Ran across a web site tonight to help people get their letters to the editor published… multiple, multiple times… WonderVoice. “The idea behind WonderVoice is simple: enable writers to submit their work to multiple editors without the pain of having to do it one submission at a time.”
Unfortunately their signup verification script was busted, so […]
Here’s a list of FireFox tools that can make your job easier… I’ve collected these over the past couple years…
Most-Useful Extensions
Do you want to email a long link to a page? Use this to create (and copy to your clipboard) a shorter version of that link. I use this multiple times every day. When the […]
The title is misleading: an article is never enough. There are plenty of fun and useful things to be done with information now that we’ve got the internet, and displaying a bunch of paragraphs and maybe a photo or two is quite meager.
There’s been some talk on the web about the failings of the article […]
This list is aimed at online newspapers and the newsrooms that love them.
“Local” means it matters. Take advantage of it.

This is what they write:
What we experienced in 2006 was just a first round in wild independent journalism. The newspaper will learn to integrate their readers and […]

A quote from some newsmaker,
A photo-thumbnail index of the top people in the news,
A photo-thumbnail index of […]
What’s local? This is a fundamental question, and the NAA’s Digital Edge blog asked it recently:

It’s coming. It’s going to be more than just a list, though, so I’ll be introducing its members one-by-one, and write a little about why they’re important, what I like about them and stuff. I look at blogrolls as most stand now as pretty flimsy, data-wise. Most ones I see I never consider clicking, and […]
So, Denver’s had a lot of snow in the past couple weeks. Colorado too. Snow, snow snow. I cooked up a bunch of online poll ideas with snow- and winter-related questions, they’re below. Feel free to crib from them if you want, or contribute your own.
