I've just come across this cool resource: the "Wayback Machine."
It's an amazing search engine that lets you look through billions of archived webpages going back to the ancient early days of the web in 1996.
It includes a blog, discussion forum, educational resources for kids interested in archiving pages of historic value and an archiving service. Also available are various web collections of pages on topics like Hurricane Katrina and pioneering websites.

Resources: Your Journalism Reading List - Investigative and Otherwise
Good reading list here on online journalism for newbie and vet journalists alike at UK journalism prof Paul Bradshaw's Online Journalism Blog.
And here also on the same site is a great list of free ebooks on journalism, including on investigative reporting.
Among them is journalism prof Mark Lee Hunter's very interesting-looking 209-page The Global Casebook: An anthology for teachers and students of investigative journalism.
A companion to the UNESCO primer on investigative journalism that I blogged about in July, also written by Hunter, The Global Casebook features a fascinating list of dozens of investigative stories from around the world accompanied by notes about how each story was done and its impacts.

Investigative Journalism: Ideas for Covering the Quebec Student Demos
Check out Bilbo Poynter's new biweekly online column, Stories Undone, all about investigative journalism in Canada on This Magazine's website.
His first column explores ideas for better in-depth investigative reporting on the Quebec student demonstrations against Premier Jean Charest's proposed massive tuition fee hike.
Bilbo is executive director and co-founder of the Canadian Centre for Investigative Reporting (of which I have the privilege of being president of the board).
