This is a loose diagram of how I work when I'm doing online journalism, tracking news, prioritising, editing, aggregating, contextualising, researching and publishing. It's the basic model of a presentation I'll be giving soon - the presentation looks a lot more interesting...
However, the actual process of doing all this stuff is a bit convoluted involving Firefox, browser buttons, NetNewsWire, Tweetdeck, Yahoo Pipes etc. What I'd really like is one destination where I can gather the online input, filter it, editorialise it and send it out to the relevant sites. Not all stories suit Twitter, some suit both Twitter and Social Bookmarks, some just the blog etc.
Just to note, the del.icio.us social bookmarks now act as a newswire on the new frontlineclub.com website (not live yet) - sourced from a network of foreign correspondents/journalists and editorialised by me.
However, my question is: Is there a tool out there that makes this process of link powered journalism easier? I guess I'm looking for a one-stop shop I haven't found yet.
P.S. Please note, there are no blog subscriptions involved in this newsgathering model - only key words and "key phrases"
P.P.S Apologies if the diagram doesn't make any sense to you...
