This blog may be goofy, but it's ours. I will post links, tid bits and insight here that I hope will help you understand your beat or the world of journalism.
Today's handy tips:
- The Missoulian reporters have beat blogs. Those of you on the local government beat may find fresh, unreported news in the original reports and spreadsheets at Keila Szpaller's Red Tapecops, crime and courts.
- Reporter Andrew Schneider, formerly of the Seattle P-I, continues his investigative work at his blog, Cold Truth. Food beat folks, he often breaks news related to public health and exposure through food, such as his recent post on deadly cookie dough. He's got two Pulitzers and is a friend of this class. You should all check his blog regularly.
- Culture reporters, there were four, no five, totally distinct cultural events going on downtown this weekend, and that's just the ones I personally ran across. How does Missoula encourage or enable people to gather here and celebrate and share their passions. What does it take in terms of public policy to create that atmosphere downtown? Are there any policies that could threaten this cultural richness? Food for thought for you. (I hope you can name at least three of these events...)
