Students heading into journalism school this autumn should get their hands on a new textbook, offered for free at the Knight Citizen News Network website.

“Journalism 2.0″ by journalist Mark Briggs from the News Tribune in Tacoma, Washington, is available as a PDF download.

It is next on my list to read, covering subjects such as reporting for the web, podcasting, shooting photos and video and an introduction to Web 2.0 technologies.

Given that it is available gratis, there is no excuse for students not to have this on their reading list.

Will there be a test on the material in this text?
