An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
"Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw
I've been playing around today with trunk.ly, a new free site that will fetch your links from your blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc., and save them for you.
Labels: bookmarks, editing tools, linking, online tools, reporting tools

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the recommendation for Trunk.ly. We have quite a few users in this journalism / education space. I'll email you separately to follow up but I'm really keen to learn more about what it would take to make Trunk.ly the "must have" tool for journalists and educators like yourself.
Cheers,
Tim Bull
Co-founder Trunk.ly
