Journalisted is an independent, not-for-profit website built to make it easier for the public, to find out more about journalists and what they write about. It is run by the Media Standards Trust. It collects information automatically from the websites of British news outlets. Articles are indexed by journalist, based on the byline to the article. Keywords and statistics are automatically generated, and the site searches for any blogs or social bookmarking sites linking to each article.
Journalisted also provides profiles of thousands of journalists and a weekly summary of press coverage which Inforrm reproduces with permission and thanks. This is the summary for the week ending 9 September 2012.
