		<title>Notes from AAJA&#8217;s 2010 national conference in Hollywood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week marked a couple firsts for me: my first trip to Hollywood and my first time at an Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) national conference. I could write volumes on the people I met and the panels and workshops I attended. In the interest of getting a post online sometime this year, here are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Web tools in action: How I almost localized a story about Thomas Kinkade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a fresh reporter at a smaller newspaper, it&#8217;s not always possible or feasible to get big scoops. Small papers also have a limited area of interest, so it doesn&#8217;t make sense to write about something hundreds of miles away from the paper&#8217;s location. But that doesn&#8217;t mean reporters at smaller papers shouldn&#8217;t pay attention [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using the rule of thirds to frame video interviews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Video and audio journalism guru Bill Mecca has a great, brief video on using the rule of thirds to set up video interviews. This is a topic that&#8217;s likely very familiar to photographers and experienced video journos, but may be very foreign to others. When I first started shooting video, I&#8217;d taken a photo class [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflections on covering my first real election night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was told there would be pizza. Coincidentally, I had a slice of pizza for lunch on the day of California&#8217;s June 2010 primary election. Maybe some part of my subconscious was telling me that I couldn&#8217;t really do my job without some kind of election-night day pizza. There was no newsroom party at our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avoiding three common mistakes newspapers make in sports videos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Video makes everything better. Just throw a camera at a reporter, crack the whip and you&#8217;ll be golden. Right? As newspapers everywhere are faced with the challenge of being everything at once and covering everything in completely new ways, reporters with little (or perhaps no) training are being handed a video camera and are sent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inspiration: My grandpa&#8217;s vintage press passes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to focus on how much journalism has changed in the past decade or so, and it&#8217;s a topic I love discussing. But I sometimes find myself forgetting the long history that a lot of publications and organizations have. For instance, I work for a paper that has published for more than 100 years.

		<title>Do citizen journalism websites provide a service or content?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, local community-based journalism site Sacramento Press learned of campaign fliers that cited an opinion piece appearing on its site. The fliers, which slam a Sacramento City Council candidate, simply quote &#8220;Sacramento Press&#8221; as saying local residents are &#8220;being hoodwinked, bamboozeled, led astray, run amok as it appears District One candidate, Angelique Ashby, [...]]]></description>
