Sleepy, snowy Sunday

Mastering multimedia: My boss and video mentor Colin Mulvany comments on the cultural shift at work in our newsroom. I get a mention. This is an inspiring read for anybody looking to build a video team.
Journerdism: Will Sullivan is hosting the Carnival of Journalism this month. This is a good place to get a taste of what journalism bloggers are talking about.
College Media Innovation: The tips here are just as valuable for working journalists as aspiring ones. On my list today: start building my “brand.”
New Yorker: Eric Alterman sizes up the uneasy and essential alliance newspapers have with the Web. Oh, and he basically rings the bell for the funeral of print journalism as we know it.
Secrets of Self-taught Web Developers: I confess: When it comes to learning web development, I’ve been dragging ass even though I realize it could turn out to be an essential tool for staying employable. Eric Hebert offers this list of resources perfect for people like me, and he presents it with the pitch-perfect voice of the sage, reassuring adviser.
