Useful websites for news junkies and other weirdos
• Growth of Social Media—See this YouTube video on the growth of new media. Sobering.
• Hard News Café—The JCOM Department at USU invented its online “newspaper” in 1996 to give students an outlet for their news stories. Since then, HNC (fondly known as “KCOW”) has been named the best independent student online newssite in the InterMountain West by the Society of Professional Journalists. Read what other students are writing—or submit your own stories and photos to KCOW!
• News U—A wonderful and useful feature of the Poynter Center for Media Studies that offers online short courses, many of them free, on a variety of critical news skills and subjects.
• Slate—The online news magazine compiles and emails to subscribers (free!) daily summaries of top news stories from major newspapers.
• Uncle Jay Explains the News—I have no idea who “Uncle Jay” is, but he does funny riffs on the week’s news.
