Semi-Pro Journalism

Friday, June 27, 2008

The always insightful Jay Rosen offers his thoughts about the rise of semi-pro journalism, which were inspired by a Personal Democracy Forum panel.

Rosen oversees Beatblogging.org, a McCormick Foundation-funded project that explores how journalists can use online social networks to improve beat reporting.
