I found this blog interesting because it does discuss all the hot and controversial media issues and provides some heated debate it also allows the reader (journalist cadet) the chance to follow Jess Jarvis, a successful journalist, on his career path. One post that I found interesting was his trip to Germany where he found himself quoted on a wall at the Frankfurt Book Fair which, would be quite a nice feeling I presume. Also having a look at what he found facinating in Frankfurt the stolpersteins.

Editors weblog

Editors weblog has been set up for editors and senior news executives to enable them to “stay abreast of the monumental changes affecting newspapers and journalism.” However, for students and current journalists it a a good source of information you can search for blogs on a particular topic and read what different peoples opinion is. For example when I was trying to find different resources on convergence I found that editors weblog was a useful and credible source of information that helped me to reach my own opinion on the issue. Many other blogs that I have visited I have difficult trying to navigate my way around trying to find what I am looking for editors weblog is one of the sites that I have found user friendly and not to crowded in its design layout.

Mojo

Big brother eat your heart out! Mojo is a an amazing tool designed so the rapidly changing media market of want it now, can access live crosses online and get up-to-date news stories in less than the time it takes to set up your video camera. Although I am sure it is easier than it looks to actually produce mojo it is a difficult task for the few people who find technology a little bit challenging! Steve Garfield seems to have it mastered though he broadcast live over the internet on hot news topics faster than any television or newspaper could dream of and the best thing about it is people who are in the spotlight are not so aware of this technology that they are not cautious of it as yet.

I do believe my motorola V9 does have the capability to mojo but I have not as yet figured it out.
