With so much research done online, you need a way to organise the things you clip





As you research a story you’ll probably find things on websites, blogs, in PDFs, on Twitter, Facebook and other social platform
There may be YouTube videos, images, and audio.
And you’d like to group those elements, which will make up the background and reference points to what you </atom:summary><link>http://writeeditblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/previewing-masterclass-41-at-multimedia.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Andy Bull)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227096938545481335.post-5478806394014342771</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-27T02:49:18.198-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Wordpress</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Picnik</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">makemynewspaper</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Zotero</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Make My Newspaper</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Cuttings Me</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Brand Journalism</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Evernote</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Google Creative Kit</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Flash</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Evernote Web Clipper</category><title>Up-coming tuition at MMJ (update)</title><atom:summary>


Masterclass 41: Top 3 essential web-clipping apps for journalists

We take a look at three incredibly useful clipping apps - each of which is the best in its field for one key function. There's Evernote, a great research-gathering tool for news reporters; Zotero, perfect for more academic research and article composition; and Cuttings Me, an elegant way to put your best material together in a </atom:summary><link>http://writeeditblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/up-coming-tuition-at-mmj-update.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Andy Bull)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227096938545481335.post-716770613928000922</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-06T03:28:58.635-08:00</atom:updated><title>This term's masterclasses from MMJ</title><atom:summary>

We're sorting out content up to Easter, so here's a run-down of planned topics. As ever, feel free to get in touch if there are things you'd like included in any of them, or other areas you'd like to see covered.

I try to help journalism students to acquire the skills they need to get jobs.

That's what the Multimedia Journalism project is all about.

But what worries me is that the number of jobs in what you might call traditional journalism is shrinking fast.
Pretty much every day there are reports of cutbacks and lay-offs by the traditional employers of journalists: </atom:summary><link>http://writeeditblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/introducing-brand-journalism-practical.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Andy Bull)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227096938545481335.post-5202949524107592307</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Nov 2011 18:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-25T10:08:13.094-08:00</atom:updated><title>Instagram: it's Twitter for photojournalists... previewing Masterclass 40 at MMJ</title><atom:summary>Follow @andybull

Instagram is a great iPhone social platform for photojournalists

It's like a visual version of Twitter
Like Twitter it does one thing really well. It lets you enhance and publish your stills to a community.
You follow people, hopefully they follow you, and you – and they – can comment on each others photos, and click to like them.

The Google+ page feature is fresh out of the box
It’s only been possible for a few days to create a professional presence on Google+
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg immediately charactarised it as a Facebook-inspired mini-me.

The jury’s still out on
Google+



Will it become the essential
third social platform for journalism, alongside Twitter and Facebook?



Or will it fade, as previous,
much-trumpeted Google features such as Buzz and Wave have done?



My hunch is it’s going to
end up lagging third in the rank of usefulness to journalists for at least a
year.



But I could be wrong. 



It may
tank.

Can Google+ become the number one social network?

Because that's what it has to do if it is to succeed
Which means it must supplant Twitter and Facebook

So will it?

It's very early days, but first indications are promising.
Google has a couple of heavy defeats behind it - Buzz failed to take off and Wave has been canned.
So it's wise to be cautious about Google+ for now.</atom:summary><link>http://writeeditblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/journalists-essential-guide-to-getting.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Andy Bull)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227096938545481335.post-7846557085156126725</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-03T06:23:44.631-07:00</atom:updated><title /><atom:summary /><link>http://writeeditblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/blog-post.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Andy Bull)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227096938545481335.post-2298895116474888694</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-29T08:11:36.907-07:00</atom:updated><title>How to really make your journalism work on Facebook</title><atom:summary>Follow @andybull

When I’m teaching social media I find the first hurdle is that many journalists are suspicious of it as a publishing platform.

They get Twitter, but with Facebook they’re not so sure. It's just too social for them, too much about friends sharing stuff that's very personal to a small circle.

But I think it’s a great platform. Here’s why.
