In the very near future we will be creating a Resource Library of organized links, shortcuts if you will, to information sources that many average citizens aren’t even aware exists. A lifetime of research and investigative activity has allowed me to compile information sources that make life so much easier. With the click of a button, a good journalist can often find out information in literal seconds, that might take an average person hours, days, weeks (or impossible) to find.
It is about saving time, getting the best facts available, and obtaining better perspective on what you are writing about. A private forum is also planned for Citizen Journalists so that they can collaborate, assist each other, share ideas and resources, etc. In the meantime I will just be throwing out random info links as I go.

* aspiring CJs should review this for the history and ideas behind Citizen Journalism. It’s good to get ideas, to research, to see various aspects of things. Researching is the beginning of Journalism, and never let the journey stop at your 1st source. Seek information, and you will find it.
