Carnival of Journalism

Once a month we get together and write about the same topic directed by a different host each time. Read our About Page for more info and maybe join. The ongoing results of the Carnival are below!


HOW IT WORKS

  • 1. Join the Carnival of Journalism by filling out this form. Or check out our Google Group
  • 2. Write and publish a blog post on the topic proposed and let the COJ host know about it by leaving a comment on the original blog post.
  • 3. There is no apologizing in the Carnival of Journalism

August Carnival of Journalism!

This month’s host is Kathy Gill – the superstar Seattle journalism professor. Check out the assignment and join us in the #jcarn
Google+ is a month old but because it launched in a real-time web era, and it already had mind-share and a robust user base (gmail), its adoption rate has surpassed the digital social network spaces that came before it.

For our August carnival, I’d like to talk about Google+ from a journalist (not necessarily news organization) perspective, from a big picture (privacy or open web) or smaller picture (how to manage scale issues with comments) perspective. What does Google+ mean for journalists, today and tomorrow?
Due 5 pm Pacific on Friday 26 August. I’ll post at least one reminder. :-)
