Fall 2011 Students: Be sure to visit my class and teaching Web site for course materials and other information about Intro to Journalism and Writing Rhetorically.
I recently started writing as a contributor for two publications that are worthy of inclusion on your RSS reader:
- I’m posting several times a week on Daily Dot, which aims to cover online communities the way your local newspaper once covered your hometown. Their official launch on August 22, 2011 drew widespread coverage, including mentions on Mashable, AdWeek, VentureBeat and Forrbes.
- I’m getting back to my roots and writing about cities, thanks to regular contributions to MyCityWay’s just launched blog. I’ve been covering everything from landline use to food truck towns, and I am always looking for good story ideas (especially ones that make use of open data sources).
And I continue to work on Cut Off At The Salad Bar, which has already gotten some nibbles from some potential agents. More to come on that and perhaps even an extended excerpt.
