New York (pte004/17.02.2003/08:25) - The American Press Institute has acquired The Journalist's Toolbox, a web site for journalists that focuses on using the Internet as a reporting tool.
JournalistsToolbox.com, which offers links to more than 17,500 resources, plus content on research and reporting techniques for journalists, will be incorporated with other online information and training services produced by API for news professionals. It is accessible now from API's Web site, at http://www.americanpressinstitute.org
Mike Reilley, a former Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune reporter and editor, founded the site in 1996 as part of an online resource page for a news-writing course he taught at Northwestern University. Reilly will continue to edit and update the Toolbox for API.
The Journalist's Toolbox will be part of a growing publishing initiative at API overseen by The Media Center, an API unit focused on Internet publishing and media convergence knowledge, techniques and strategies. In addition to presenting an annual series of seminars, study tours and master classes, The Media Center publishes NewsFuture, a Web and e-mail journal for senior staffers and executives in the multi-platform news publishing industry, and oversees all digital publishing initiatives for API. The Media Center is a partner of http://www.cyberjournalist.net a Web site for journalists that focuses on the Internet, media convergence and new technologies.
