Choosing RSS Feeds that work for ME

Firstly a feed to my own website that I am responsible for updating. This primarily will serve as a reminder for me to get on my job, but also allow me to see RSS Feeds as you do. This helps me in my online headline writing—which is far different from print slug writing.

The Diversity at Work Blog hosted by the Poynter Institute is an important one for me. While race isn’t all that matters, but with minorities at an all time low in the newsroom (NABJ, 2009) A voice discussing the issues that matter to me in my own point of view. Especially with the massive layoffs affecting my coworkers and peers.

In the beginning my strongest point was on the visual side. Photography and Page Design was key for me in securing employment where my other classmates focusing on sports, or entertainment failed. The Visual Voice also by the Poynter Institute keeps me abreast on topics in design, typography and photography. What print redesigns worked and which ones didn’t. It helps me learn from others, without the pain.

Strange News from the Associated Press is exactly what it is. Quirky, weird, unbelievable tidbits that make for good water cooler conversation or maybe just give me a break from the hard news that could make you a bit cranky.

The RSS FEED from the Texas Press Association is a feeding frenzy if you will. From opinions/editorials from local journalists on issues affecting our community. Some sections include shared advertising revenue opportunities, etc.
