Journalism Daily: Indico News, confessional journalism and the Observer’s future

Journalism.co.uk is trialling a new service via the Editors’ Blog: a daily round-up of all the content published on the Journalism.co.uk site.

We hope you’ll find it useful as a quick digest of what’s gone on during the day (similar to our e-newsletter) and to check that you haven’t missed a posting.

Let us know what you think – all feedback much appreciated.
