Resource to Use: J-Learning.org
Are you in the midst of a site redesign, and feeling a little stuck? Or does just contemplating your site give you a headache, since you don’t know a server from a spambot?
I recommend checking out J-Learning.org, a simple site with accessible, step-by-step instructions for launching a community journalism site. A project of J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism, J-Learning.org offers advice along every step of a journalism site, from explaining domain names to basic video tips.
The site also links to Mark Brigg’s blog [of The (Tacoma) News Tribune] — which focuses on teaching journalists digital skills. [Disclosure: I met Briggs at a Poynter conference in 2005 and found him to be very smart.]
