Dan Gillmor, founder of Grassroots Media Inc. and the author of “We the Media: Grassroots Journalism By the People, For the People” has agreed to join us as the topic expert on Journalism.

Grassroots Media is a project aimed at enabling grassroots journalism and expanding it’s reach. Dan is also well known to those of us who have been at all active in the world of blogging, where his blog is one of the most read. Before doing all this, Dan was a prominent columnist in the San Jose Mercury News. You can read more about Dan and his exploits here.

Dan’s recommendations on feeds and blogs you should look at if the topic you care about is Journalism:

• The Online Journalism Review has two feeds: here is the feed for all their articles and here is the feed for their blogs. OJR is a comprehensive web based journal produced at the Annenberg School for Communications at the University of Southern California.
• PressThink is Jay Rosen’s blog about the press and journalism. Here is the feed.  Jay Rosen teaches at New York University, Department of Journalism.
• CyberJournalist.net is a news and resource site that focuses on how the Internet, convergence, and new technologies are changing the media. Here is the feed.
• Poynteronline, “Everything you need to be a better journalist” is a rich site on Journalism, published by the Poynter school for journalists. Here is the feed to their “Poynter Extras Tidbits.”

A note about BlogBridge Topic Experts: BlogBridge’s mission is to help you find and use the best information available from the blogs and feeds.  We are constantly trying to get experts in one subject or another to join us as topic experts.

The list of recommendations come directly from the topic expert, and is first announced in our blog. At the same time they are added to our growing directory (on the left) as well as integrated into the BlogBridge application as part of our ’suggestion’ mechanism.

Here’s how to start reading the recommendations:

• You can simply use drag and drop to drag the links in the text above (the ones worded like this: “Here is the feed …”
• You can click on the link in the sidebar at the left to locate the announcement for each topic expert
• Or, in BlogBridge, when you “add a feed” or “add a guide”, request “suggestions” and all the recommended feeds for each expert will be available, directly.
