So you fancy yourself a hard-hitting journalist? Or maybe you just want to read some good stories or find a primer on doing online research? Well, make yourself at home. I created this blog to share ideas for stories, my 300-link blogrollodex and the latest news about our biz. Included are resources on health, high finance and the environment, FOI, justice, spy agencies and the military, investigative tips and freelancing. Input is welcome. I don’t necessarily endorse the material below.

Tools: Blogger's Guide for Libel
So you've had a threatening legal letter over a blog post. What do you do? This interesting pamphlet from the UK group Sense About Science, which advocates for libel reform, gives some good tips. It applies to the UK, but some of the info could be instructive for bloggers elsewhere, especially in Commonwealth countries that might share Britain's difficult legal climate. Be sure to check the legislation and case law in your own country.
