Citizen Journalism: Bloggin da news. August 30, 2006
Posted by dean in Podcasting.1 comment so far
If you have an interest in journalism or newscasts then why not get into
“citizen journalism”. Webbies and blogsters across the world are
by-passing traditional news services and delivering news and opinions
from a grass roots level.
Of course that means that the quality of the sources and peoples’ ethics
may vary, but it could be argued that we currently face the same problems
with the mainstream press.
Anyway, why not give it a go! Check out this informative short instructional video
called “Citizen Journalism:From Pamphlet to Blog” at http://projdoc.blip.tv/

Podcasting is simply distributing audio content using RSS. The process is suprisingly simple, and by making audio content available using RSS, podcasters give listeners more control over what they listen to and when. Also, many podcasts are available for syndication, which increases a broadcasters exposure.
Generally podcasting is helpful for:
1. Music – (demo’s)
2. Training (instructional materials)
3. Self Guided Walking Tours
4. Talk Shows (discussions, commentaries)
Podcasting is simply an RSS feed that contains an MP3 or audio file in the enclosure tag.
The following links provide step by step information that explains how to setup your podcast.
