Catholic Media Journal

One of the great things about Twitter is that many people share links to their own work, interesting things they’ve found related to work, or lots of times – just plain fun. One of the latest links I followed led me to Save the Media, a blog by Gina Chen, a Franciscan University of Steubenville journalism grad. As part of her introduction she writes:

I’ve been a newspaper journalist for 20 years, and I’m worried — but excited — about the future of the industry I love. I believe new media can help journalism evolve, so it can continue to be a watchdog of Democracy. But journalists have to be open to change and trying new technology.

Check out Gina’s blog, and be sure to follow the links that interest you.

Yes, Twitter can be a distraction. But it’s also a great resource for journalists. Best of all, it can be a way to keep in touch with friends and colleagues – just be sure it’s not the only way. Stay up to date with Gina by following her on Twitter. She’s bloggingmom67.

And of course, follow me too. I’m iJimC.
