The Poynter Institute is asking for nominations for Seven Wonders of the Journalism World. From Roy Peter Clark: "We want to have fun with this, but selecting the Seven Wonders of the Journalism World also has a serious purpose: to remind all of us of the historical forces that help us do our best work today; and to articulate a set of enduring values that will help protect and advance journalism in unsettled times. "We have created a process which, with your help, will produce a product, one that would teach journalism history interactively, reminding journalists of their glorious past -- with an eye to the future."
