Jim Romenesko is having a good time. Lately, the “journalism evangelist,” “KING of the blogosphere,” and “go-to source for news about the news” has been waking up earlier, posting more often, and featuring content he had not felt free to publish for more than a decade. In the wake of his abrupt departure from The Poynter Institute late last year, he established an eponymous independent site that has quickly been embraced by media professionals, educators, students, and even a few Facebook spammers worldwide.

College Media Hall of Fame: David Teeghman, Founder, J-School Buzz, University of Missouri (@JSchoolBuzz)

J-School Buzz, an independent student blog focused with unblinking intensity on the University of Missouri School of Journalism, awes me. At the moment, it is the only hyperlocal student blog within collegemediatopia of any significance. It continues to break interesting stories and trigger debates of consequence in Columbia, Mo., and beyond. And it is staffed by students within the Mizzou J-School who are unafraid to doggedly and at times critically report on their own program, possibly angering those who give them grades, might recommend them for internships, and consider them from scholarships.

In the wake of his expedited departure from Poynter, Jim Romenesko has established an eponymous independent site that has been passionately embraced by many in the journalism community.

Awake at 1:11 a.m.? Read The Columbia Daily Spectator
Posted in College Media, Journalism, New Media, Student Newspaper, tagged Blog, College, Columbia, Education, Media, Technology on January 12, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The One Eleven, part of The Columbia Daily Spectator’s “Spectrum” blog network, is built atop students’ penchants for being awake at all hours and forever web browsing to avoid schoolwork. Each morning, at exactly 1:11 a.m., overseer Stephen Snowder provides a recap of the world in quick bits, sometimes serious and sometimes wacky. It appears to exist as the sarcastic younger brother of College Daybreak, a daily email breaking down world events in similarly easy-to-digest chunks.

Posted in College Media, Future of Journalism, Journalism, New Media, tagged Blog, Campus Media, Journalism, Media, New Media, Onward State, Student Media on March 24, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Onward State‘s legend grows. A new Mashable post about the Penn State University online outlet describes it as nothing less than a “rogue campus blog” and a “sociological Petri dish”- one that is at the center of an epic “old/new media rivalry.” The new write-up follows a recent Chronicle of Higher Education report that anointed [...]

The still relatively new batch of online student outlets with new media sense and underground sensibilities have been dubbed nothing less than full-blown “blogging fraternities.” A new Chronicle of Higher Education feature declares that the “national wave of student-run Web outfits [are] determined to reinvent college journalism. . . . Readers devour these sites. College officials [...]

At James Madison University, it started with a peeping tom- an alleged creep watching girls in dorm showers. It’s now ending with administrative idiocy. A student reporter with The Breeze, JMU’s campus newspaper, went to a JMU dorm recently to speak with students about a reported shower stalker. An RA became nervous and asked the [...]

Campus Newspaper Blog Shares Student’s Swine Flu Battle
Posted in College Media, Journalism, New Media, Student Newspaper, tagged Blog, Journalism on September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve seen blogs in my life- great blogs; middling blogs; blogs of towering mass appeal; blogs that make the phrase inconsequential irrelevance not sound redundant; blogs about exotic food, a person’s mood, a church bingo group, President Obama, Hello Kitty, and being a working mother. I have never come across a blog like this. – [...]

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 [...]

It is everything a student-driven blog should be: informative, snarky, irreverent, relevant, and frequently updated. It is The Daily Clog, a blog run by a half-dozen student staffers at The Daily Californian at UC-Berkeley. As the about page notes, “We focus on the UC campus, the city of Berkeley and Berkeley’s online community. We give [...]
