Forget Soundsliding, podcasting, vlogging, geotagging, and a-Twitterin’. New media tools are important, but without kick-ass content Journalism 2.0 is still deader than Cuba Gooding Jr.’s acting career (seriously, what happened to him?).

As of late last week, no students had submitted an application to be the next editor-in-chief of The Independent Florida Alligator, a top-notch newspaper with a rich history.

A recent New York Times article on how college radio has “maintain[ed] its mojo” in a new media universe makes me mad. I have no problem with the focus of the piece. College student radio stations definitely deserve a shout-out. I just think the NYT piece suffers from numerous cliches of vision and arguments that [...]

This video explains much more comprehensively than I ever could the many, many, many, many reasons the NCAA rule severely limiting live blogging of college sports is crudely written, overreaching, and just plain dumb. ————- ————- As Just Journalism reported, a Wake Forest official warned Indiana Daily Student staffers live-blogging an IU-Wake Forest basketball game [...]
