After having just visited an ag journalism class at the University of Missouri I thought I’d share a link to Wired Journalists. The group I spoke with was already familiar with it but not all of you budding online journalists may be.

Wired Journalists is a social networking site for those of us involved in making a living out of the new communications platforms. I’ve got a page started and will know more about it after I’ve had more time with it. Part of their mission statement is:

WiredJournalists.com was created with self-motivated, eager-to-learn reporters, editors, executives, students and faculty in mind.

Our goal is to help journalists who have few resources on hand other than their own desire to make a difference and help journalism grow into its new 21st Century role.

I’m guessing there’s not a lot of agricultural journalists involved yet but there could be!
