Not sure it's worth the bandwidth because... @Dan - it may well slow it down, yes - I recently tested my site on http://ismyblogworking.com/ and the only thing it brought up was that it could be faster. I think Analytics is the main culprit, but may slim it down (although writing this post made me reactivate a few) 2009-10-14T20:56:22.008+02:00 2009-10-14T20:56:22.008+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=2587134&comment_id=133919748 paulbradshaw Update: as of today (Oct 13) "458,832 pages of documents. 24,078 of you have reviewed 212,807 of them.

I'm (finally) about to post the final part of that BASIC principles series - which, of course, will be far more than 500 words... never a rule without an exception. 2008-08-04T12:09:49.677+02:00 2008-08-04T12:09:49.677+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=1311097&comment_id=25463085 Paul Bradshaw If you need any help, count me in.

Then you need to be doing it yourself already. Get a blog, engage with the communities of interest. And based on all the above, do some research, and find which college is going to cover the skills and knowledge that you specifically need, and which fits your personality and interests. No one can answer that question for you except yourself. 2008-04-15T14:28:01.496+02:00 2008-04-15T14:28:01.496+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=1321472&comment_id=25086491 paulbradshaw Thanks Dave - and Simon.

I'm planning a thorough review of local websites soon and may have better answers, but my gut feeling is your best bet are dailies like Johnston's Lancashire Evening Post and Trinity Mirror's Wales newspapers. 2008-02-28T20:23:02.148+01:00 2008-02-28T20:23:02.148+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=1269722&comment_id=24442998 paulbradshaw @John - perhaps the middle road is to say if you can craft a phrase that becomes meaningful in its own right - like 'From a lecture to a conversation' - then you might get away with it! 2008-02-25T18:33:48.494+01:00 2008-02-25T18:33:48.494+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=1233592&comment_id=23936071 paulbradshaw It seems that allowing anyone to add themselves also means they can edit other entries - and the title of the map itself. Not sure if there's any solution other than to correct your own entry by selecting it and clicking 'edit' at the top of the left hand column. 2008-02-07T10:18:14.033+01:00 2008-02-07T10:18:14.033+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=1140945&comment_id=22502448 Paul Bradshaw Vuvox is going to do for Flash what Wordpress did for Dreamweaver.

Agree totally. I also wonder about the line about 'much lower standards of training' than the NCTJ - which implies the NCTJ has particularly high standards. Not the impression I get from educators who have to work with them, students who do the courses, or newspaper management. And they certainly don't appear to be doing anything to produce journalists who can adapt intellectually to the new media environment (I'm not talking about token video skills). PS: Perhaps highlighter-photoblogging could catch on? 2007-12-07T09:59:54.450+01:00 2007-12-07T09:59:54.450+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=1102947&comment_id=22439846 paulbradshaw test 2007-12-04T10:08:48.358+01:00 2007-12-04T10:08:48.358+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=onlinejournalist&conv=1132412&comment_id=22428781 Paul Bradshaw Thanks - I've asked it to be amended slightly (as per strikethrough above), though I feel the security criticism stands. 2007-12-03T11:20:30.486+01:00 2007-12-03T11:20:30.486+01:00
