      The tags help with finding their posts on various rules, editing mistakes and news in journalism. I personally think that they did a good job tagging their most popular and helpful subjects.

      They also have their posts organized into categories, which makes it a little easier to find a post if you're looking for a broader topic than one of the tags may cover.

      There is helpful information on each of these sites. This can help people who haven't decided where to make their portfolios. Also, this could give you pointers on something you are already working on.
  • You then have the option to modify anything from the story’s text to the featured picture to the date and publication name. You can also add tags and generate a PDF from the URL, which is really nice if you do ever have to print out copies of your articles.

    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.

      The post with rules on the most current events is always at the top, so it's easy to find. It's a little annoying that there is no way to look at archived posts, but I think the blog might be fairly new.

      Jordan - this Gatehouse blog is very cool. Thanks for sharing.
  • Jordan Kranse on 04 Nov 13
     
    This is a blog run by editors at Gatehouse Newsroom. The rest of the website has a lot of resources for journalists, but the Editing Words blog is a great resource specifically for editors. They post AP Style rules and tips that pertain to current events, for example, the have a post explaining how to refer to "Obamacare" in stories.

    Ok, this seems obvious. Journalists are inherently bad at math, but we all should be able to calculate a person's age. And to be clear, I am capable of doing that math. But let's say you're looking at court or police documents and it only lists a person's date of birth. Did this person just have a birthday? Or is it still months away? I like to use this age calculator to double check that I have the age right. This is something that's incredibly easy to get wrong. It's also an incredibly stupid mistake. You're probably the only one that is going to double check this person's age. Get it right.

      Some of these articles apply more to the UK since that's where this site is based, but they actually have a lot of good tips for how to break into the profession.
