Nice website where you can search for articles written by a particular journalist

Great resource that journalists can use to see what freedom of information laws are in place for different countries and states

"Quartz is a digitally native news outlet for the new global economy." I just found this website today. Perhaps others are familiar with it, but it was completely new to me. It has a global focus and the first story I found focused on how newspapers are covering the protests in Bangkok with drones. I didn't know any country had accepted drone journalism. I also didn't know that people are protesting in Bangkok. The layout of the website is very unique. You can just scroll down to move from story to story. It also has a sidebar listing different content. The layout is refreshing and the site has a lot of unique content I hadn't seen before. This is worth checking out.

Copywriting is one of the most essential elements of effective online marketing. This website refers you to different resources to improve your craft. The main page is a spectacular infographic regarding copywriting elements and how to build on your skills.

This blog gives great advise on how to make your writing more enjoyable for readers.

An interesting look at the ever-evolving world of The New York Times style and language use.

This blog is great for learning and brushing up on grammar. It posts a lesson on a different grammar rule every day, with sentences to practice that particular rule. It focuses on a different rule every month. I mostly like that it provides a lot of grammar practice, because it can be really hard to find a lot online.

This blog is great for aspiring photojournalists, or even journalists who want to study examples of good photography. I like how along with the photo examples, there is a short description of the photographer and an interview with them about the photo. I think it's interesting to get a glimpse into how these amazing photos were taken and hear about what the photographers had to go through to capture them.

I thought this site would be helpful with our portfolios. It gives advice on the five portfolio sites that it has chosen. It not only points out the good sites, but points out helpful features from each.

This is a really great article about posting articles to Pinterest. It includes what to do and not do for journalists who are using this medium for promoting their work.

This is a really great article about how to post articles on Pinterest. Author Comment: I won't be pinning this how-to article on my Pinterest page. I'd like to, of course, because I have a board for my articles, and this article is about how journalists can use Pinterest boards to showcase their work. Ah, irony.

Here is a good job posting site for journalism and advertising jobs in Colorado and other mountain west states.

This is a great copywriting blog. It's also great for writers in general.
