Poynter Online - Top Stories

At Poynter we have started to focus more on how information -- and misinformation -- spreads throughout media and society. We're charting how the shorthand of a story changes as it moves among the blogosphere, traditional news sites and government agencies, becoming a simplified narrative that lasts long after everyone has forgotten what the story was about in the first place.

I love the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. A great friend to all journalists. Newsies, you have to sign up for their newsletters. And register for their News University (many free offerings there). Yes, you have to.
