http://doingallwrite.blogspot.com/2010/07/wow-ive-got-story-here.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. Wow, I've got a story here! Today's entry is purely a journalism-related one. As you may know I started a contract at a new paper last week. Well, on Tuesday I was reminded of one of the things I love about journalism. On Tuesday I was handed what seemed like a fairly dry report to read through and find an angle on for my paper's readership. And I very nearly missed something that was staring straight at me.

Doing All Write: July 2009
http://doingallwrite.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Welcome to Twitter World News. Regardless of where in the world we are, the way we are getting our news is changing.

By making available various pieces of information that governments, corporations and mainstream media don't want us to know, it's been busy rewriting the rules on information sharing. It's even made its way onto Stephen Conroy's list of sites to be banned under the proposed controversial internet filter. We are a source protection organisation that specialises in protecting sources and ha...

Doing All Write: Social Media circumvents electoral advertising freeze
http://doingallwrite.blogspot.com/2010/08/social-media-circumvents-electoral_20.html
Friday, August 20, 2010. Social Media circumvents electoral advertising freeze. The 12am Thursday morning electoral advertising blackout has been a part of Australia's electoral process at least ever since I was a voter.
