Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) has a great Twitter list of Top Journalism Linkers. I asked some of the people on that list to share their top sources for journalism news. Here are their replies.

Somehow, I made it into Rosen’s list, so here is where I get most of my information about journalism:

• My “J” Twitter List: I suggest following each person, not just the list. That way, tweets from each person on the list will show up in your main Twitter stream.
• Google Reader: Feel free to download  my list of subscriptions. Google has instructions to import that list into Google Reader. Watch out, it’s gigantic. Focus on the Journalism folder/tag.
• My Delicious network: In particular, I pay attention to pages that members of my network have tagged as ‘journalism’.
• My Meehive: I get a daily email of top stories from here.

When is the last time you used Delicious as a discovery tool? That’s right, it’s good for more than just saving bookmarks.

Go to the Delicious popular tags page and (in the field labeled “Type a tag”) enter one word related to a topic you cover. Then hit the return button to get a list of relevant popular posts. For example, here are five popular items recently tagged “journalism.”

1. How News Happens: You’ve likely read many blog posts about this Pew Research Center study that called 83% of the news they examined as “essentially repetitive.” Oh, this was the same one-city, six-storyline study that was blogged and tweeted ad nauseum with triumphant proclamations that 95% of originating reporting comes from traditional media. This link was first saved on Delicious by frasernz.
2. There is no new revenue model for journalism: Robert Niles argues publishers need to review their three options for revenue generation. Then, they can “work to find a publishing and production model that allows a news publication to live within its current income means.” This link was first saved on Delicious by Daniel Latorre.
3. Cut This Story! The Atlantic examines stories from The New York Times and The Washington Post says to make the point – in roughly 1,800 words – that newspaper articles are simply too long. This link was first saved on Delicious by smashcut_media.
4. iPhone News Apps Compared: No, these aren’t the best tools for mobil journalists. Instead, it is a good roundup of 14 sites that deliver news on Apple’s device. This link was first saved on Delicious by hungrymarshall.
5. Finding Dolly Freed: When The New York Times pulled a story two days before it was to run, freelance writer Paige Williams decided to transform her 1,200-word newspaper article into this web site. She also add a slightly humungous “support the journalist” button to accept PayPal donations. This link was first saved on Delicious by Katharine Beutner.

Before 2009, few of my IRL journalism colleagues read popular social media blogs, and those sites rarely talked about the news industry or journalism. But this year, everything changed. Many journalists and news organizations started participating in social networks, we watched major stories unfold in mobile and social spaces, and social media blogs wrote about journalism and news industry more than ever.

Mashable

Mashable (@mashable) calls itself “the social media guide.” This year it tagged 29 posts with the word journalism:

After last week’s observation that users of the social-bookmarking site Delicious were turning to blogs to find (or at least save) news about journalism, I’ve been keeping an eye on the Delicious list of currently popular links tagged “journalism.” This week, a certain manifesto appeared twice in the top five list.

Instead of writing my own description of each link this week, I’m including descriptions written by other Delicious users. Visit their pages, or my Delicious page, to find more links that you might find interesting.

1. Eleven Things I’d Do If I Ran a News Organization: “Great list by Dan Gillmor, including transparency, audience participation, linking and more. (via Dave Winer)” ewanspence
2. Internet Manifesto: “Germany’s top bloggers have compiled a manifesto – a declaration which suggests principles of how journalism has changed and should work today. This is a great primer for students of digital journalism/new media to begin to get to grips with the changes in the media sector and approaches to journalism” pinowsky
3. 10 Ugly truths about modern journalism: “Journalism was screwed before the advent of the internet:discuss” 37sechsblog
4. Press Accuracy Rating Hits Two Decade Low: “Report and analysis of the continuing decline in confidence in “the media” h/t @patrickchareyre !” lidatsene
5. The ‘Internet Manifesto’ bucks a trend and gets mainstream media attention: “Journalism students publish a manifest on how journalism needs to be approached differently. Applies incredibly well to marketing as well.” EugenioMenezes
