Blogs for professional development

Blogs, (or web-logs) like this one, allow you to easily keep up with developments related to your field and profession. Many types of professional blogs exist, and they cover a variety of topics. Basically, anything you can think of writing about, you can find a blog discussing it!

A good example of a professional blog, Teaching Online Journalism discusses the use of multimedia and technology in teaching and journalism. Written by a professor in Florida, you can read Teaching Online Journalism at http://tojou.blogspot.com/.

The Editors Weblog is published by the World Editors Forum and looks at "editorial solutions for the newspaper renaissance." You can read the blog at http://www.editorsweblog.org/.

You can find lots of blogs by using a search engine. One of my favorite blog search tools, Technorati, will also allow you to rank your search results by levels of authority.
