50 Must Read websites and newsletters for journalists and students interested in the media, tech and communications
This is an update of an earlier post which had a focus on social media. I’ve now broadened this list to cover wider industry news and developments.
Note: sites are grouped thematically, but after that, they aren’t listed in any particular order. Sources publish daily, or weekly (anything more irregular than that was excluded) and most sites offer a newsletter (or several of them).
I’ll no doubt keeping adding to this list, as I keep finding more great resources. Feel free to email additional suggestions: damianr@uoregon.edu

- NewsWhip blog — full of great case studies about publications and platforms, usually backed up with their own data. NewsWhip works with over 500 publishers.
- GlobalWebIndex blog — another blog using their own data (from over 30 markets around the world) to highlight trends and case studies.
- We Are Social — their website has lots of useful round-ups, but come here for the mammoth annual slides decks on digital usage around the world — and by specific region — that they produce.
