Great to see this kind of information sharing!

Inside NPR.org is one of the collected blogs in my public media “master feed,” which aggregates many public media blogs (I’m always looking to add to it.) The rss feed is here.

Posts are thin so far (the blog is barely launched), but it looks like a great platform for reporters to share their work and talk about their experiences producing it. Frank Langfitt, for instance, talks a little about the learning curve – shooting video with an HD cam inside a car – for his piece on slugging.

I can’t embed the video, so you’ll need to go to the blog to see it.

Knights in Training is the newest addition to the “public media master feed” – a one-stop site for all posts from public media bloggers. (the rss feed is here.)

If you’re blogging about public media and want to be included, email me or @toddmundt on twitter.

I’ve already written about John’s excellent question: where are the female public media bloggers? This gets to the wider question of who is blogging about public media. A few of us are working on a couple of ways for you to tap into the stream of thinking in our industry.

Here’s one way to do that – I call it the “Robert Scoble Turn on the Firehose” method. I’ve created a master feed of public media bloggers. The feed shows every post from every blogger in the feed. You can step into the stream at any time and see what your colleagues are thinking about.

• Click here to subscribe to it.

Do you blog about public media? Are you an active user of del.icio.us with a publicmedia or similar tag? Let me know and I’ll add you to the master feed.

Guys (and I mean that in a gender-specific way),

I was exchanging e-mail with a public media colleague of the older persuasion and mentioned the names of the various bloggers / thinkers that I follow — and each of you was mentioned — and he asked me, “Where are all the women bloggers? Is this just a guy thing?”

I know there are women out there in pubmedia that are on Twitter, as I follow some of them there, but are there active female bloggers in public media? I don’t know I know of any off-hand (although I’m sure I’m missing some).

So two questions come to mind:

1. Who are some public media female bloggers out there?

2. (assuming #1 is a short list…) Why is it predominantly men blogging about public media?

Good questions. The admittedly lean blogroll of public media bloggers on my site doesn’t include any women (although I have some in my feed reader), and that’s my loss.

I don’t know if there’s a gender-specific way of looking at public media (hey, maybe there is), but I do know that any list of the most influential people in public media includes a lot of women.

So… are you a blogger? Are you in public media? Are you female? You’re reading me – at least at this moment… and I should be reading you. Add your name and URL in the comments. Heck, if you’re male, and you’re in public media, then I should be reading you, too.

Do you blog about social media? plain vanilla public media? fundraising? audience? pubmedia news and gossip? There’s a lot of knowledge floating around that more of us can tap into.

Andy Carvin seeded a massive list of public media twitter folks; maybe we should draft him to come up with a similar list for bloggers. There’s all kinds of knowledge out here that we can tap into.
