But these triangles are relating to my Post Graduate studies at UCLAN and have helped me to visualise how journalism works.
In this week’s digital journalism class with @Digidickinson we looked at how to filter content from the web – blogs/news sites/websites/ social media – and feed it to yourself. Saving time and giving you access to what you want to read.
We discussed sites such as Google Reader which you can sign up for here.
Other useful sites to collect and retain web information for your own reading are social bookmarking site Delicous and link collector Trunk.ly.
We also looked at how to then share that with your internet community (again with another triangle diagram).
Popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are avenues to connect, share and post content on the web. Useful sites to help reduce the amount of time you spend posting to online communities include Twitterfeed, which can share links and RSS feeds you think are relevant.
Also, If This Then That is a great tool that you can use to schedule content to appear at specific times.
After several conversations this week, I think the PG broadcast journalism students will definitely be setting up feeds for this..... a finger monkey.
