Recommended blogs to follow as a video journalist

My RSS-reader got quite a lot new sources regarding online video/video journalism. Here are a few blogs that I think are worth following when you're interested in (online) video journalism:

1. Adam Westbrook

Regularly blogging about online video & entrepreneurial journalism, offering a lot of helpful posts and in my opinion a must in a VJ's feed reader.

2. Mastering Multimedia

Blog of multimedia producer Colin Mulvany, not regularly updated but nevertheless a great source to learn about multimedia, especially online video.

3. Multimediashooter

Very interesting and helpful blog about multimedia (with a lot of posts regarding video), also offering tutorials and podcasts.

4. KobreChannel

Blog by Prof. Ken Kobre (teaching photojournalism) and editor Jerry Lazar about visual journalism. Unfortunately not regularly updated, however, worth a regular visit is the main site "KobreGuide to the Web's Best Multimedia & Video Journalism", introducing picked videos and audio-slideshows, mainly from major media sites, that are worth watching according to the publishers of the KobreGuide.

5. IM Video Journalism

Blog of award-winning and innovative video journalist David Dunkley Gyimah, who has trained VJs around the world.

6. DSLR News Shooter

Anyone shooting with a DSLR should definitely bookmark photo- & video journalist Dan Chung's page.

7. NewspaperVideo

Blog of award-winning videographer Chuck Fadely, unfortunately last updated a year ago, but with a lot of "old" posts definitely worth reading.

8. iVideocracy

Same here, this blog about video journalism was last updated a year ago, however worth hoping for a new post and going trough the old ones.

9. Michael Rosenblum

No VJ - blog list without Michael Rosenblum, the "father of video journalism" .

10. Cindy Green

Videojournalist Cindy Green blogging about her profession.

11. NewsVideographer

Multimedia Journalist Angela Morris' posts cover a broad range of topics on online video journalism, e.g. ethics, shooting, editing, conferences & contests, but also takes a critical look at videos published by other journalists.

12. Online Journalism Blog

No (online) journalist should miss following Paul Bradshaw's blog.

13. Online Video Journalism Blog

Eight broadcast journalism students @London City University blogging about Online Video Journalism

For all German VJs I'd recommend Roman Mischel's Blog, who also blogs with VJ Markus Böhnisch on videojournalismus.net . Moreover I'd recommend "VJ-Wissen für die Fernsehpraxis" and a very interesting German blog about online journalism in general.

Here's also a list I created on Twitter regarding online video journalism (which will hopefully be growing).
