Podcasting, audio and video would all be really useful in a journalism classroom. Students need to be familiar with how to edit audio and video if they are producing daily or weekly announcements. Podcasts could be used as another teaching tool. Nothing really worries me about podcasts, although the potential for inappropriate content is there. I would just make sure to preview any outside media before showing it to my students.
CyberJournalist.Net is a great site I found that has links to journalists personal blogs. Some are freelance writers; some are retired columnists; there's a wide range of contributors. This site also has lists of other blogs belonging to organizations such as MSNBC and USA Today.
CUNY Graduate School of Journalism has podcasts related to journalism and new media, as well as the profession in general. These would be great to share with a class to show them how the field of journalism is rapidly changing.
