This is a crosspost from the class blog for my entrepreneurial journalism class at Georgetown University. Please add other resources I should call to the students’ attention in the comments. I’ll also be compiling links to entrepreneurial projects. What links should I include on that list?
These are some recommended resources on entrepreneurial journalism. Students choosing the project option of contributing to the class blog can do blog posts about any of these resources. You can write commentaries about posts on these blogs or reports or about a book or a chapter or section of a book. You also are welcome to blog about other resources. I will add some links here during the semester.

Steve Buttry blog posts on entrepreneurial journalism
If you’re going to write about my blog as part of the project, you can’t simply write a flattering review. Write your own take on something I have written about.

Other sources recommended on Twitter
Romenesko (This is a general blog about the news business and journalism
ReadWriteWeb (This seems to me a bit more focused on technology than journalism, but there is some overlap and it’s a good resource.)
Diffusion of Innovations by Everett Rogers
First chapter of Tina Seelig’s What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20
This is a great list.
I’d also include Monday Note, which often touches on entrepreneurial journalism and the economics of media from a more international perspective.
Other great ones, though not journalism related but still good to read as an entrepreneur, is Fred Wilson’s AVC blog and Chris Dixon’s blog.

Steve: Might sound self-serving — in fact, I am certain it does — but thought I’d toss in a plug for Nieman Reports. We hear back from j-school profs and students that our stories provide valuable personal testimony and insights about the challenges and opportunities of journalism’s transformational times. Melissa
