      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.

    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.

    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.

      This seems really sketchy to me. At least, the excuse does. I think any parent would be able to recall the events of what happened after their child committed suicide.

      A lot of the things that these Vancouver Sun reporters allegedly did go against everything I've been taught as a journalist. But were they right in doing it?

      Is Twitter Wrong focuses on disproving news and rumors from Twitter. Some of what they fact check isn't very official, but there are several good verifications.

    This website compiles useful fact checking websites, like Fact Checker. I personally find the Is Twitter Wrong website to be interesting and informative.

      I like this idea of "practicing" verbs. It's not a waste of time to practice accurately describing what you're seeing. Carry a notebook with you and try to absorb something every day.

    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.

      And because the blog is produced by NPR they have some great podcasts. I enjoy a good podcast. This week had a wide variety of topics to enjoy tackling issues from Obamacare to fake news.
