This time last year I was pretty new to the world of online media. Knowing that I needed to really ramp up my knowledge to succeed in my new job as digital editor at the Des Moines Register, I started to read as many blogs as I could find on the topic.<\/p>\n
A year later, here are my 10 favorites (and three of my favorite posts from each).<\/p>\n
Easily my favorite blog to follow, it seems like every post has information I can use in my daily work.<\/p>\n
It’s a blog about bloggign written by Mike Sansone from Des Moines (which is a bonus). I regularly find links to new tools to try out from following this blog.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the volume of posts, but this is the place to go to be the first to know about a new online tool or service.<\/p>\n
He doesn’t post often, but each post seems to give me a months worth of ideas to try.<\/p>\n
Very inspiring lists of tools and resources. I find more tools here that relate to my personal sites than my actual job, but sometimes that’s what I really need.<\/p>\n
A fairly new blog, but already becoming a must-read for every journalist (in my opinion).<\/p>\n
Kind of like the Drudge Report of online media. This site leads me all over the web – and keeps me coming back.<\/p>\n
Poynter’s blog about new media really makes me think about how we can use new tools.<\/p>\n
I didn’t even realize how much I liked this site until I noticed how often I star its items in Google Reader.<\/p>\n
This is the site that inspired me to make Twitter a regular part of the Des Moines Register’s digital distribution plans.<\/p>\n
