		<description><![CDATA[The word &#8220;networks&#8221; gets thrown around a lot. In terms of journalism, one could argue that journalists have always been about networking. We network with sources, subjects and readers and use that networking to our advantage when finding and writing stories.
&#8220;Social&#8221; networking in this age, however, means something different. A recent post on the Harvard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does &#8220;community engagement&#8221; belong in the j-school curriculum?
Robert Niles, writing in the Online Journalism Review, Doing journalism in 2010 is an act of community organizing, says absolutely, yes:
The journalists who succeed online are the ones who understand that they are no longer simply reporters&#8230; they&#8217;ve become community organizers.
Consider these examples:

		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, I and many others suggested making an iTunes for newspapers but we see now that that might not be such a great idea considering the music industry and a million other blog posts about paying for stories.

iTunes also would prohibit the type of content possible and revenue potential considering Apple would become a distributor and the interface would be locked into Apple's design.

So without a whole lot of predictions and turning myself into a fool, I'm going to say the iPad represents another platform or perhaps a more flexible mobile platform for news content.

If news companies are able to create their own reading/viewing environments for the iPad, then I think that's a good thing.

Will it save journalism? Pft. No. But it opens up to yet another market and business model/revenue potential.

Brian Duggan said:

		<description><![CDATA[My point is, anyone can innovate any time, anywhere. You can do it in small increments so no one will notice. A method I've heard here is that you innovate and change in small ways over a long period of time. At the end of your journey, everything is completely different but everyone thinks of it as something that needed to be done and they look back at the old way of doing things and scoff.

		<description><![CDATA[As educators struggle to cram more into the journalism curriculum, journalism history courses are easy targets for elimination or reduction. Yet Carlin Romano argues journalism history should be required of all journalism students, along with comparative journalism and philosophy of journalism courses. Despite the sure disagreement with this recommendation, I think he's right. Here's why:

		<description><![CDATA[I walked up to the imaginary doctor and interviewed him using my Evernote (btw, you need this if you're a journalist, not just for iPhone) voice recorder. He told me Michael Jackson was in critical condition.

When I hit save on Evernote, it automatically uploaded the sound file to the web. Annie has access to my Evernote account and watched it load live, then saved it to her computer, briefly trimmed it down, uploaded it to SoundCloud.com (YouTube for audio) and Tweeted the sound clip embeded on the L.A. Times website with a nutgraf. 

Total time for first breaking news report: 10 minutes

While I waited in the waiting room, the editor and I coordinated my and the L.A. Times tweets using a synced Tweetdeck (iPhone app + her desktop app). I tweeted extra details while the editor spread the word.

As people retweeted us, we retweeted them with #truth

People who lied (or abused the hash tag) were retweeted with #untruth so that people would ignore them and continue to retweet our reports.
