Reinvent Journalism in 10 Easy Steps Committee of Concerned Journalists:

"Here are 10 things intended to “reinvent journalism,” courtesy of howardowens.com:

Stop writing for the front page
Stop treating journalism like a competition
Stop submitting your stories to reporting and writing competitions
Listen more closely to your readers
Put more people in your stories and fewer titles
Don’t cover process
Be a subject-matter expert
Forget the false-promise of objectivity
Be accurate. Always
Cover your community like it is your hometown"

*I stole this from a friend's blog. I think the part about putting more people in stories and fewer titles is especially important. If I could launch a career as a profile writer, I would.
