Teaching Online Journalism is a blog by Mindy McAdams who is apparently a university professor at an undisclosed location. Her “about” page is sparse. The blog is good though. It takes on many topics about online journalism and not just teaching online journalism. The site has lots of traffic and commentary seems to spring up for many of the posts. In addition to the standard informative news snippets and recent events, there are many how-to guides about starting up a blog or adding small personal touches to the blog. Overall, it’s an excellent resource in online journalism.
