Harvard and Huffington and Hummel
Posted by Sheila Conlin in Harvard, Huffington, Jim Hummel, online Journalism
I want to thank a couple of people who thought enough of the Jim Hummel piece on this site to recommend that others see it, too.
First, Joshua Benton at Harvard University's Nieman Journalism Lab looked at it as another example of conservative groups funding independent "anti-government-waste" journalists sites. I'm not sure Jim Hummel would appreciate that label - but it IS one way to look at the experiment he has launched in Rhode Island.
The second recommendation comes from one of my professors in the Georgetown program (Yes she teaches Journalism in Albany at SUNY - but was a visiting professor in 2009 in Washington, DC).
Claudia Ricci wrote about it on Huffington Post.
Thank you both for your support on this project.
If you have not seen those stories I urge you to check them out.
Thanks -
Sheila
