Learn from science bloggers

The 2nd N.C. Science Blogging Conference is this weekend. It reaches far beyond the Carolinas and even far beyond science.

Go visit the organizers' wiki and blogs, and substitute the word "science" with "journalism" and see what happens.

Try that especially at the group's link to a Scientific American interactive article from Mitchell Waldrop, author of "Complexity."

Or start at the event wiki or the Facebook event.

Wiki instead?

Maurreen Skowran, a business copy editor in Raleigh, is active in a free, public journalism wiki here.

But broadening our sweep -- and our pool of available time and talent -- seems like a good thing worth considering. And if that broadening could happen with McCarolina siblings, all the better.
