Facebook journalism: experiment #1

August 1, 2007

The Online Journalism Blog Facebook Group (does OJBFG sound any snappier?) announces the first of its Experiments in Facebook Journalism (that’ll be OJBFG:EFJ then).

Starting simple: I’ve begun a discussion forum on ‘Your top RSS feeds’:

“Who’s top of your RSS list? Where do you go for online journalism news? Where do you go for debate? For advice? And for sheer fun?”

The concept behind this is simple: ‘my audience knows more than I do’. Please contribute and help a) create a useful resource for readers; and b) improve this blog’s sources.

More experiments to come…

    Hi. My friend and I have recently created a blog where journalists can publish work that has been edited too much (for example, a third of the initial article published because there is not enough space in the paper) or that has been requested and then rejected for whatever reason, but that the journalist still thinks is work worthy of exposure and discussion. We would like to bring this to the attention of other journalists and we have tried through facebook, in fact, we had a lot of visits in the first day because of it. But now we want to move it from that audience to a more specialized one, made up of journalists that could actually contribute. We would like to post the link here (if that is okay) and bring the concept of the blog up for discussion.
