As referenced in my first post on the matter, I'm constantly attracted to new news-based Tumblr sites and upon finding an article entitled, Time's 30 Must-See Tumblr Blogs, I immediately feel in love. As a self-proclaimed Tumblr addict, I've recently come to recognize the enormous journalism benefits this blog website can have for individuals looking to develop a voice and style, as well as already established members of the industry.
I constantly rave about Tumblr as a successful and innovative blogging format, because I've seen that it works. It combines a variety of post styles in one, it is very user friendly and also has a lot of aesthetic appeal. In the blogging world, a large part of the process is networking and getting your name out. With Tumblr's active reblogging feature, it is easy to do both of these things. Additionally, when you can tailor your dashboard to reflect your interests, it is very easy to specialize or develop a blog centered around numerous interests. And for publications that rely heavily on multimedia, it is a perfect and clean way to display photos, videos and even audio with the click of a few buttons. Forget all that complicated coding.
Check out the recommended Tumblrs above and perhaps by the end of the list, you'll want to start your own.
