Journalism Resources:

In trying to assess the accuracy of reporting or issues of Journalistic ethics, there often is no better source than the journalists themselves. Here are some resources which will help serve as examples:

The Internet Newsroom
www.dgsys.com/~editors/index.html
A practical guide for journalists and other information professionals who want to use the Internet to gather information. The service is free and tells how to quickly access specific types of news stories, features, and background research. Access to THOMAS, GAO Reports, the ACLU, National Press Club, National Public Radio, etc.

The ERAM Programme
www.brad.ac.uk/bradinfo/research/eram/eram.html
Deals with ethnicity and racism in the media.

Just for fun, here is another site which is just what it says: Education Humor www.dakota.net/~pwinn/humor/education.html
