Young journalist blog ring

A few weeks ago Dave Lee posted an idea he was kicking around for a blog ring of young journalists. I read through some of the comments and then decided to post my own where I mentioned my idea for an open group of young journalists.

Turns out Dave is launching the blog ring soon and is taking sign ups (I signed up promptly). He’s got some requirements though:

a) Under 30-years-old. I know there will be a couple of disappointed people out there with this restriction, but without it I feel we lose the point a bit.

b) You blog (or plan to blog) about journalism in some shape or form. Bit of an obvious one, this, but I think it’s important that we’re all coming from the same place here. I’m not bothered what stage of you’re career you’re at, so long as that career’s journalism.

c) You promote the ring! If we all bring attention to this by shouting it from the rooftops, then there’s no reason why this can’t become the best point for young opinion on the media on the web.

So if you fit the bill I suggest becoming part of a group of young journalists in search of a name. Go team!
