There are millions of blogs out there dealing with every topic imaginable -- from recipes to ideological rants -- and Journalism, obviously, is no exception. Here are two of my favorite blogs dealing with the written word.
Regret the Error:
This blog was started by a freelance journalist in Montreal named Craig Silverman and is dedicated to reporting "media corrections, retractions, apologies, clarifications and trends regarding accuracy and honesty in the press." I just love it. Sometimes, it can be hilarious. Other times, it can be very serious. I find gratification knowing that every publication makes mistakes -- even the New York Times.
The Journalist's Toolbox:
I didn't know about this blog until my Journalism III professor introduced it in class. I have since marked it as a favorite on my browser. The blog is exactly what it says it is and includes all kinds of tools a journalist would find useful, including public record databases, measurement converters and the newest job listings.
