Visit the Newseum, Read Alltop, Tell Stories, Vet News and Huff the Po(st) | Fast Five | 04.27.08

1) Newseum
Slate disagrees, but The Newseum looks to be an interesting destination the next time you’re in our nation’s capital.

2) Alltop Journalism
Alltop’s Journalism page aggregates nearly 100 sites focused on the Fourth Estate. Check it out, along with other Alltop sites, for an easy way to get a read on industry news.

3) Story Corps
Story Corps wants you to tell your story. The program is travelling the nation and every story gets archived in the Library of Congress. Cool.

4) Newsvetter
We always remind people we like good pitches too. Andrew Fowler has a site that helps you create and send them. Newsvetter asks you media-designed questions that help you shape an informative pitch. We interviewed Andrew and are preparing another post exploring the service further. Until then, check out the Newsvetter blog.

5) Laermer on HuffPo
The Bad Pitch’s own Richard Laermer is now blogging at The Huffington Post. Ariana Huffington did not call us for a reference, but we don’t mind sharing brainpower.
