Get Seen, Get Found, Maybe Get Hired

Alex Garcia over at the Chicago Tribune has a post up about getting a job as a photojournalist. These pop all the time, everyone wants to toss out their ideas. Or warnings.

Mobile Apps for Journalists

These come across the wires from time to time, links to lists of needed apps for mobile journalists. The latest is from Mediactive and put together by Josh Sprague, comprehensive if not exhaustive.
