Must-See Social Networks For Journalists

Blogger Mark S Luckie has come up with his list of the most essential social networking websites for the modern multimedia journalist.

Here are some of the highlights from his selection:

* Wired Journalists

“The site is the best place for established and up and coming journalists to discuss new media issues.

“WJ’s strength is in its groups, in which members discuss topics like tutorials, audio techniques and student journalism.”

* The Modern Journalist

Like WJ, this social network is located on the Ning platform.

* LinkedIn

“The social network can best be described as an interactive database of hundreds of thousands of resumes.

“But instead of just listing your work experience, you can network with other people from your company or school and be introduced to mutual contacts.”

* COLOURlovers

“Finding inspiration for projects is a whole lot easier with the site, where you can search for and share color schemes and patterns or be inspired by the site's groups and blog.”

* Twitter

* Pownce

* Flickr
