| Youtube |
Youtube allows anyone that has access to a camera or video camera the ability to join the journalistic media world. With the ability to put video up of major events or make a presentation like a narrated slideshow, anyone is able to publicize themselves. Youtube is just a faster and rapidly growing television news station with less in depth stories.

Blogging allows anyone to update whomever is viewing on stories that happen to them or in a professional sense, they can put their amateur or professional stories on a blog and have unlimited amounts of followers. This is a free media where anyone can put their creative stories online where nearly everyone in the world has access to them and can become famous just from writing short segments of big or little news. This article talks about blogging being a goldmine for journalist with unlimited resources.
3. Twitter
 |
This short article talks about twitter being what I call a "gateway," it allows anyone to post something with a quick link to something else online. These 140 character messages can link you to official web pages with pictures and stories, they can be linked to blogs and youtube videos all over the web. It is a quick way to put something out there for everyone to see so that if it is interesting enough they can follow up on the story through those links.
4.Facebook
 |
Facebook is a great journalism resource because it is something that millions upon millions of people are already using and one quick tag in a post can link to millions of people and that link can send you to any page on the web. If a journalist has their own journalism page they can put up pictures and stories of recent events or things they have covered.
5. Podcast

Podcast's are a fantastic new resource to the journalism world. Someone can search through any amount of podcasts or podcast stations to follow and from anywhere in the world they can listen on their ipods or smart phones, this allows journalist to publish a story and put it up as a podcast so that someone can click it and decide to listen whenever they have free time. This is great as opposed to regular radio where if you miss the story you will have to wait till the next time it is brought up.
