Online newswire

This is a loose diagram of how I work when I'm doing online journalism, tracking news, prioritising, editing, aggregating, contextualising, researching and publishing. It's the basic model of a presentation I'll be giving soon - the presentation looks a lot more interesting...

However, the actual process of doing all this stuff is a bit convoluted involving Firefox, browser buttons, NetNewsWire, Tweetdeck, Yahoo Pipes etc. What I'd really like is one destination where I can gather the online input, filter it, editorialise it and send it out to the relevant sites. Not all stories suit Twitter, some suit both Twitter and Social Bookmarks, some just the blog etc.

Just to note, the del.icio.us social bookmarks now act as a newswire on the new frontlineclub.com website (not live yet) - sourced from a network of foreign correspondents/journalists and editorialised by me.

However, my question is: Is there a tool out there that makes this process of link powered journalism easier? I guess I'm looking for a one-stop shop I haven't found yet.

P.S. Please note, there are no blog subscriptions involved in this newsgathering model - only key words and "key phrases"
P.P.S Apologies if the diagram doesn't make any sense to you...

That sounds suspiciously like a British cultural reference. Apologies, anything after 1996 has me pretty much lost.

Deadwood = fallen (or cut) trees = paper.
You paper as in the days before all this electronic stuff :)

Actually, yes, there is something that makes link journalism easier - I used it to make this: www.climatepulse.org

Will send you the slides showing how it works in the back end if you remind me.

Please do Robin, most interested to know of anything that might help improve this.

I had a look at climatepulse and did notice a couple of "odd" slides popping up into the flow, like this one

And that old annoyance:

"No results
Technorati search for "climate change conference" has no results
21 october 2009"

This is the problem with letting any content onto a public facing site that has not gone through an editor - easy to let rubbish through, or - as in CNN www.scunnered.com/?p=9 - game the system.

I'm interested in what Lloyd is playing with, maybe there's a solution there:

But, please do pass on your slides :)
