I’m not in the USA, but I’m a journalism student at the University of Westminster in London, who blogs on journalism and the news agenda on a daily basis.

That place got some people riled up with some of the stuff I was reporting on. People were scared of the impact of blogging as journalism, but it was run so well and looked so legit (I'm assuming) that when one of my posts was being talked about on the local ESPN radio show, they referred to it as a "so-called news organization." I laughed, but was flattered, too. Almost forgot…I ran a blog called austinsportsreport.com while still taking classes at UT.

So, yeah, we had to learn fast how to blog for our classes. I was surprised but am now very grateful how much emphasis they put on this stuff. My blog does try and pick out some of the best ways to use technology from blogs like this, so I'd say that it does have a journalism aspect to it. And Darren, that's sweet. My blog helped get me a job with Examiner.com (thanks, Ryan), but you've taken it to a whole new level. Congratulations. What’s up, Ryan? So, yeah, we had to learn fast how to blog for our classes.

I had a desire to one day be a sports agent. Now, I am going into my second year of law school at UF, and I am the CEO and Founder of a sports agency created in April 2007. Without the blog, I would not be where I am at today.

None of my blogs focus on journalism, per se, but I do plan on writing about it at various times on my new blog. (I'm already drafting a post on the beauty and value of narrative storytelling, for example.) http://buyingacarfrompoker.blogspot.com/ (M first foray into blogging — not really worth reading, but it did once have a small following.) http://burntorangesports.blogspot.com/ (No one really ever read this one, but it did land me a gig with examiner.com) http://monozygotic.wordpress.com/ (The latest and hopefully the greatest, it got over 1,500 hits during its first 24 hours of existence.) Students at UT aren't being taught to fear all things blog. Rather, they're being told they'd better learn to blog now. The Daily Texan hosts four blogs. Whether or not they're any good is a fair question, but at least they exist. http://www.thedailytexanblogs.com/ And finally, one of my recently graduate buddies runs a journalism-focused blog. http://thehungryjournalist.wordpress.com/ I might not really count, since I graduated in May, but for argument’s sake:
