In my latest piece for PBS MediaShift, I investigated how citizen journalists are fairing in the new media era. What are the challenges local bloggers face covering city hall or the school board? Are tools like Twitter and Facebook helpful (or even being used) for citizen powered reporting?
Check out this list compiled by Mark Glaser at PBS MediaShift. Apparently my post on young political candiates watching out for their online footprint has received a number of visits pushing it into Glaser’s year end top post list. It’s a good list and indicative of an interesting year in the new media era.
