Journalism from orangebutton, a weblog by George Girton

Journalism . . . . . jun 4 2003 — ob50.dat

For the past 18 months I have enjoyed the Columbia Journalism Review (www.cjr.org). They have a great inside back cover, with wonderful ambiguous headlines. And hey, how many journalism reviews are there, anyway?

How do you get news of the world? If you're like most people, you depend upon media outlets: TV, newspaper, magazines, or in the rare instance (six percent in a recent survey) the internet. You depend upon hard-working journalists.

The Columbia Journalism Review covers, well, coverage. This past issue was great. It had a lot of War Stories. They were educational, revealing, and moving. And of course, being about Iraq, sad.

Also, the cjr.org site refers to an information-packed free site for working journalists that I have never seen mentioned by the blog-journalist-pretenders, Power Reporting dot com..

But whether you check out powerreporting.com or not, the Columbia Journalism Review is still worth reading.
