I recently discovered a Tumblr page called “ONA Issues:
Conversations vital to digital journalists”. The page is completely driven by
the sharing of resources, original reporting, opinion and more. It is a site founded
by the Online News Association, a non-profit membership organization for
digital journalists, connecting journalism, technology, and innovation. My
first impression is that it’s a great way to discuss new ideas in the field. I
think making a Tumblr page was a wise move on behalf of ONA. Tumblr has come to
be such a widely used site by people of different studies. For example, I have
had a Tumblr for three years now in which I only find and reblog photographs
that I enjoy. This site has inspired me to maybe start another blog, one that
gets conversation going about some subject that I feel passionately about. It
may seem obvious, but embarking on an innovative journalistic endeavor does not
have to be so intimidating and profound. Using popular social media and similar
platforms to cultivate your own idea can result in some really successful work.
