Yes, we have been talking with Ryan about using beat blogging as a ‘best practices’ space to learn about what some of the stars of Wired Journalist are doing.
Here’s another one: Wired Journalists now has more than 2000 members.
The Ning-powered social network that Howard Owens, Zac Echola, and I created back in January has exceeded our expectations, in terms of numbers, interaction, community, and the learning/teaching that’s going on there.
I’m talking about beatbloggers like Matt Neznanski and Web staff from smaller papers, like Carlos Virgen from Walla-Walla.
Jay Rosen has been talking about using Wired Journalists as a pool of talent to find reporters and editors and bloggers like Matt and Carlos as they bubble up to the surface of the network, and I’m excited about the possibilities.
