To do good writing read good writing. Here’s the good writing I’ve been reading this week.
This week’s recommended reading is short. Very short. So short it’s just a hashtag on Twitter: #ONA10. If you’re a journalist lucky enough to be there, you know that’s the hashtag for the Online News Association annual conference that started today in Washington D.C. Or maybe you’ve seen it on Twitter and are already following along.
If you aren’t, you should be. Whether you’re in a newsroom somewhere or work as an independent writer, you should be keeping track of what’s happening. AOL President Tim Armstrong explained this morning about why Patch isn’t evil. Jonathan Harris, the data visualization mastermind behind the WordCount.org project, The Whale Hunt and the We Feel Fine book, talked about.
Go to TweetDeck or HootSuite or whatever you use to use Twitter and searc h for #ONA10, save it and follow it. The conference is going on through the weekend.
