How to be a journalist

Online Journalism Review, published by the School of Communications at the University of Southern California, has published three online guides for would-be citizen-journalists, students and other people who aren't journalists but might want to function as one. They're in Wiki format, so if you learn something in your work that isn't covered, you can add that information yourself.

Information is here.

The guide to ethics.

The guide to reporting.

The guide to writing.

I'll have more to say about these later.
