Journalism, Media and Tech: 19 must read newsletters for journalists in 2019

A list produced for my 2019 journalism in New York class, which culminates in a four day visit to newsrooms in NYC this June.

Prior to the trip, students pick two sources to read throughout the term- one daily newsletter, one weekly - from the list below. They then write a weekly journal providing their reflections on what they read that week. Four students are called on to talk about their analysis, in class, each week.

Daily Newsletters

Get into the habit of reading at least one of these, every day:

1. Columbia Journalism Review — Based in New York on Columbia University’s campus, CJR’s mission is “to be the intellectual leader in the rapidly changing world of journalism.”

2. Nieman Lab — the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard, is “trying to figure out the future of news.” Has a dedicated audiences and social tab.

3. Poynter — provides daily news updates, training, events and a range of free (and paid) for online courses through NewsU .

4. Journalism.co.uk — don’t let the UK URL fool you, offers tools, tips and news from around the world. (Disclaimer: I often write for them.)
