The Sites in their Sights

Knight 2008 News Challenge Winner

So which are the regular websites visited by the big names at the MIT Center for Future Civic Media conference? I asked people like Jay Rosen, JD Lasica, Amy Gahran, Paul Grabowicz, Henry Jenkins and others to share their favorites.

Surveying ten or so folks shows that top of the list is Jeff Jarvis' BuzzMachine. It's followed closely by Amy Gahran's E-Media Tidbits and Jay Rosen's Pressthink.

Dan Gilmor, Romanesko and Mark Glaser's MediaShift are also popular online destinations.

Also mentioned were:
Paidcontent.org
ReadWriteWeb
Dave Winer's Scripting News
Doc Searles
Steve Outing
JD Lasica's Social Media
Online Journalism Review
Cyberjournalist.net
Dave Weinberger's Joho
Mindy McAdams
Ethan Zuckerman
Memeorandum
Fred Wilson
Ryan Sholin Invisible Inkling
Charlie Beckett
Henry Jenkins Aca-fan
Convergence Culture Consortium (at MIT)

Wow, I'm really honored! Thanks! Of course, Tidbits is a group effort, we have an extensive global team of contributors. I'll be sure to pass the good news on to them -- and to the Poynter Institute, which hosts Tidbits.

The translation plug-in sounds like a very good idea: we at times have long lines in Portuguese shops... or you can use it on the bus... ”
