      Storyful is a really cool site that works pretty much solely on providing fact checking for journalists and editors. It also gives a lot of advice about making online content.

      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.

      The Freedom of Information Center from the University of Missouri is a great resource to help understand some of the laws that protect you as a journalist.  Depending on what state or country you are in, you can see what rights you have.

      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.

      At some of my internships I've found myself writing a similar story over and over. I've never thought of switching it up with verbs alone.

      The writing I admire most is writing that commits to an idea, however scary that may be as an author.
