Where do online journalists (people who write stories for websites like Mashable) get their sources?
What kinds of websites do you have to sign up to to get this kind of information? Are there one or two big directories you have to pay for, or do you have to be subscribed to millions of small business press lists, or be an elite member of a news organization, or what?
And then, what are the rules regarding covering a story? Is it generally fair game to just cover a story or do you have to ask permission (a trade conference, for example)?
I guess I'm just wondering what tools I need to get started in the world of online journalism. Thanks so much for any insight you can give.
