Thanks everyone. I appreciate the opportunity to get out of my local focus for a couple of hours. #journ2journ #
In my present position in life, I’d like to write for a not-for-profit whose agenda I like. #journ2journ #
@karenhanson Of course, that is true of every news organization, isn’t it? Nonprofit agenda is usually more transparent. #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #
@saline I see some print journos deciding online is “lesser” even when run by ex-print journos. #journ2journ in reply to saline #
@catekustanczy I’m finding some PR oddly backward when dealing with online journos. You’d think they’d want the PR… #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@etanowitz We’re on Q4, which is …what do you want to ask? #journ2journ in reply to etanowitz #
@catekustanczy You’re not equal. You’ve chosen a growing career path. #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
A4: Covering a fire on campus for my friend, the photographer for the student newspaper. I was a math nerd until that day. #journ2journ #

@justinNXT Do you see an audience age divide on who easily distinguishes between the concepts? #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@catekustanczy Just write what you think he’d say. Join the chat as @fauxpaulbradshaw. #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
I think the well-read audience knows we’ve always had opinions in newspapers. They didn’t just read the obits and classifieds. #journ2journ #
…the young members of the audience seemed confused by his irritation. #journ2journ #
At a recent media panel at a PR event, old time PR was upset he had read opinion on a community news site…. #journ2journ #
Does an audience living off cable news even expect objective reporting? #journ2journ #
RT @MaryKnudson: We created a group where Rocky journalists can go for support & where people can offer help. http://is.gd/l22 #journ2journ #
re Q1c: What if offered more not to take story on? Is the new saying: Information wants to be sold to the highest bidder? #journ2journ #
@LifeofMichael “They failed to recognize the nuance that we need the journalists but not the medium.” Exactly. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@deadline_guy Oddly, I do not see your stuff in TweetChat journ2journ channel, only my separate feed. #
@deadline_guy Journalism has quality control editors, proofers, etc., bloggers don’t always have. That accountability is…#journ2journ in reply to deadline_guy #
Could national focus journalists syndicate like comics artists have? #journ2journ #
@catekustanczy I don’t mean freelance, as much as writing for your own publication. Journalism self-publication. #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@catekustanczy Someone was making money in newspapers. I can’t imagine we’ll end up like philosophy majors. #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael Community journalism doesn’t have to mean citizen journalism. Think a group of RMN people could start up small? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@karenhanson That’s the key. Most of us aren’t part of management. I see our future role as guns for hire, but for who? #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #
@LifeofMichael Steven A. Smith believes a low-cost approach will allow small groups of community journalists to survive. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@Single_Shot I believe journalists will find work, but we have to master the next medium. Or find ways to syndicate ourselves. #journ2journ in reply to Single_Shot #

@ValerieSimon “C” – Citizen journalism is a growth of the alternative press, but shouldn’t be confused with activists using the same tools. in reply to ValerieSimon #
So, roughly $5.2 trillion more than 8 yes ago? Wow, almost doubled in that short time. #
@davidhenderson Did that 3 years ago. Now have 7 regular contributors. 3 ex-journo, fotog, & videographer. All volunteer staff. in reply to davidhenderson #
Two+ days of meetings over and looking forward to #journ2journ at 8pm #

@JeffCarpenter Rear enders & short yellow were parts of my 1st story when RLCs were proposed. See them as biggest potential risks. in reply to JeffCarpenter #

@JodiEchakowitz You make PR sound like fun. | The similarities are a reason so many journos move into PR. Or so I’m told. in reply to JodiEchakowitz #
@fsutoby Neither, but disappointed by other reporters complaining. Valid Q re: Comcast. College coaches are part of the business & should A. in reply to fsutoby #
The silver lining of the current old media probs is journalists get to leave their beat more often. Some may not like it though. #

@bill_paige Sorry, that last tweet was for you. Come to #journ2journ thu night if you can. I plan to introduce bias as one of the questions. in reply to bill_paige #
Neutral in portrayal is possible, but bias shows up re: who & where we cover & it’s more obvious as resources/time diminish or for citjourns #
@Suzannadanna Good idea. I Just have the 1 laptop/1 itouch. Must admit I still buy CDs or files elsewhere and copy them in. in reply to Suzannadanna #
@bill_paige Took me a min, that RT was a hours ago re: those who believe they”re writing w/o bias.| I don’t believe bias can be eliminated. in reply to bill_paige #
Thanks @standupkid for the mod work, @prsarahevans for starting the chat, and everyone-1 for the useful/helpful/interesting chat #journchat #

RT @MrsWrite I see my own personal branding like, well, perfume. It’s discovered– not announced. #
q6: Branding hasn’t changed much since it was called “reputation.” “Popularity” is now emphasized though. #journchat #
@rachelakay Measurement is “a” key. Some online writers have a smaller audience of true influential readers. #journchat in reply to rachelakay #
@phdinparenting The problem occurs when PR firms assume that. More #ex-journos are starting local news sites. #journchat in reply to phdinparenting #
RT @marciamarcia Bits of bias come from deep in our bones, our families, our histories, our lives, our work. Best we can be is aware. #
RT @DavidSpinks The important thing is that you’re transparent so that your readers understand what kind of bias you might have. #journchat #
Unbiased content isn’t dead, and neither is Bigfoot. We’re becoming more honest about our biases. #journchat #
Q3: Yes. Here’s your 140 wrd pitch: “Here’s a story that fits your site: Link. Here’s my number: #phone Thanks.” #journchat #
@xmainer1 No, but you’ll have branded “fishwrap” and “puppy trainer”. The newsprint companies have to find new markets. #journchat in reply to xmainer1 #
@standupkid The next Kindle addon is: “With Newspaper smell!” #journchat in reply to standupkid #
Q2: Since the 20s we’re worried that readers will be second-class citizens. TV didn’t kill reading & neither will the Net. #journchat #
SEO is fine for articles that need to be found, but hyperlocal readers follow the writer, not search for topics. #journchat #
rt @catekustanczy It’s dangerous to base your work as a journalism solely on statistics telling you what’s popular -makes me unco #journchat #

I’m following back unless you’re just tweeting sales pitches. My focus is local news. Please note I live in Central Florida, not Australia. #
