Sir, I am a Kashmir (India administered) based journalist with a professional experience of ten years.
I want to contribute news items from here to the news agencies, magazines, papers or news portals. Kindly guide me in this regard.
Awaiting for your reply.
I’m a student in information and communcation science (at Bruxelles – Belgium – I hope my english is’nt too bad) and I study the online information system useb by the journalists and the quality of these systems. To make this study, I need information from journalists and It’s rather difficult to obtain. Is it possible for me to contact you by email to ask you some questions ? My objectives are to improve those systems and therefor I need advices from journalists.
Thank you
Thanks Arnaud – I’m conducting similar research myself so happy to get in touch. My contact details are on http://www.mediacourses.com/staff_teaching.asp
Paul:
I read the post on wiki journalism with great interest since we have a wiki publishing platform for online media that is targeted at building communities. Iwould like to get your help in contacting the people you surveyed. Our launch customer is the San Diego Union Tribune and afew other publications are looking into it, with inetersting applications on kids sports, global warming, schools etc. Perhaps you are interested in helping us gain entry into the UK market?
I’d love to find out more about what you’re doing with San Diego, please contact me on paul.bradshaw (at) uce (dot) ac (dot) uk
Hi there
I’ve just launched a bit of a crazy website idea and just wanted a bit of advice.
I’m not even sure if you’re the right person I should be asking and actually I’m hoping I’m not being cocky by asking you this but do you think my site would make a good story.
Kind Regards
Wasim
I’ve launched a website that is centered around people raising questions to newsmakers in response to news items on the web. People can relate news articles to questions to support the validity of a given question. The main idea is to collaboratively raise the tough questions journalists would normally not use in an interview or a press conference.
I wanted to know what your thoughts were about such a concept and what impact it may have on citizen journalism.
We are looking to hire recent journalism graduates for full time positions in a startup South Florida newspaper. Would you have any leads or suggestions how we can find applicants?
this site is very useful for my journalism class. i would just like to know something about video diary as a form of journalism. Is it related to online journalism? what are the pecularities or styles used in here?
My view is that video diaries can be used very effectively within journalism – either by the journalist themselves reflecting on a story or issue; or by a source giving an insight into an issue – almost as you would use a quote within text. See http://onlinejournalismblog.wordpress.com/2007/03/09/four-types-of-online-video-journalism/ for more.

Paul. Just come across your blog and really impressed. We’ve just started a blog focussing on the media in Wales (mainly news media) and while it’s in its early days we hope it’ll evolve into a mature blog for debate and discussion by both the media professionals and media customers. Would really appreciate your comments.
Hello,
I went through your blog and I would say that found it impressive. I’m a second year student of European Studies at the University of Malmo/Sweden. Naturally, from Bulgaria/Sofia.Currently, I am doing my year as an exchange student at the University of Seville/Spain (for the first term) and at the University of Granada/Spain (second term). I would like to contribute to your work in this blog. Honestly, I have no experience in the shpere of journalism and publishing, besides one month training at one of the Bulgarian national newspapers. However, I would be extremely happy having the chance to improve my skills and deepen my knowledge. Although, I have not experience, I think that my work, help, colaboration could be useful for the following reasons: I have plenty of contacts with people from different parts of Europe, taking into account my background. Also, I am originally from Bulgaria (an Eastern European country) where concepts like ‘media pluralism’, ‘investigative journalism’ or ‘freedom of speach’ are relatively new. In the future, I would like to dedicate myself at improving the level of journalism in Bulgaria, especially the points, emphasized in Article 19. Therefore,my work for this blog, will inevitably contribute to my personal develpment.
If you anyway decide that I could be useful for the developing of the blog contact me.
