How to educate yourself online

Get a Twitter account. Start following people. Tweet, retweet, tag, learn, repeat. This week alone, I have twittered my way onto;

* Brent Cunningham’s classic essay on objectivity in American journalism;
* Matt Pressman’s entertaining Why do they hate us? piece in Vanity Fair;
* David Vaina’s New Media Versus Old Media article;
* Howard Owens’ historical overview of newspaper journalism.

And also – shameless self-plug coming up – a nice reblog of my post which was then picked up by journalism.co.uk.
