Although health care isn't one of our topics, I found this website to be helpful with health care becoming more prevalent in the news.

Thanks, Robert. You are right. Timely site to know.

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

This is a blog I stumbled upon and I found the posts to be fairly helpful when thinking about entering the job market. It provided some helpful tips on branding and uses of social media to create your own brand. The resource page also had some helpful links for portfolio building.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.
