A few online resources for journalism students

Interesting to see the US-based Online Education Database has compiled its list of the 40 best blogs for journalism students, which included Online Journalism Blog and a host of others, all of which are well worth a look.

In addition to these sources, for anyone starting out or trying to break in to journalism, I also recommend:

• Adam Westbrook's blog on online video and entrepreneurial journalism
• Write, edit blog, which accompanies Andy Bull's online course and book on multimedia journalism
• Dave Higgerson on journalism, social media and Freedom of Information
• A look at current stories and journalism issues on Jon Slattery's blog
• Tips and info for newcomers from Wannabehacks
• Martin Stabe's UK-centric look at online journalism
• Plus some useful analysis and aggregated news from The Media Briefing

Take a look - and why not suggest some others to add?

Are you an employer who needs new journalists?

Paid a visit to the Multi-media Journalism department at Bournemouth University today. I was impressed with the quality of the students and their facilities. Bwire is one of the online and print products they produce as part of the BA course.

The students were positive, confident and highly employable and some of them are nearing the end of their courses.  I know it's a tough job market out there, but I think employers should be knocking at Bournemouth's door.
