For me, long before I started working as a journalist, I became a digital humanist not through engagement with anything that was happening at my university really, but by working and talking with my friends who were working with journalism, especially at Snarkmarket.

And now that I’m writing for Nieman Lab, which takes digital journalism as its main topic, I’m continually amazed at how many smart ideas you can borrow from all the different corners of journalism — new media journalism, data-driven journalism, even sports and technology coverage.

They all have to build tools on the fly. What’s more, journalists always think about what they’re building in terms of what they’re presenting. And with all the talk about digital building versus digital presentation in digital humanities, it’s useful to have something to point to where that dichotomy really just isn’t one.

Similarly, Shana Kimball and I had a interesting back and forth about why LIS students don’t tend to go into publishing, and vice versa. I wonder if this could be a step toward expanding the idea of the alt-ac appointment outside of the university. Can journalists, publishers, tech bloggers, and gov’t analysts be digital humanists too? (thinking of Alex Howard and Audrey Watters here).

I also vote for a DH registry. Would be great for students just hearing about this and wanting to get involved.

I’d like to talk about journalism too, including an idea Kari Kraus and I threw around a few weeks ago about embedding j-school students in digital humanities shops and vice versa.
