Hey Kevin,

Here are two articles most worth reading:

• A fundamental way newspaper sites need to change
• Holovaty’s article from a year ago in XML mag is pretty decent too

And here are links to the blogs in my “must-read” category on my feed reader:

• Matt McAlister
• The most-popular links on delicious tagged “journalism”
• Ryan Sholin
• Mark Potts
• CAR reporter for the Houston Chron
• Steve Yelvington
• Will Sullivan (the Journerdism guy, you’ve prob already heard of him)
• Bokardo: these guys had a good run of posts last year, though they’ve slacked off in quality recently

Clay Shirky’s links on del.icio.us are sometimes interesting too

And if you’re interested in the online news-types I follow on twitter, this is my online news-oriented / professional-joe twitter account

I’ve kept a library of online news-related links for four years — this is the category of links I call “Good Reads” for online journalism there.

I know there are 151 links in there, so here are the highlights (in cases where the title of the post wasn’t obvious in the URL, I pasted it after):

I just remembered one more — this guy is the smartest read I’ve seen when it comes to the online economy and publishing: Umair Haque.  Umair mostly publishes on his Harvard blog here, but he used to write on BubbleGeneration, here.
