Blogs as Industry Intelligence
Staying on top of industry news is part of your job, but who says you need to limit your reading to fusty trade papers? Bookmark the snarky blogs that cater to your industry (for New York media, try Gawker.com; Wall Street warriors check out Dealbreaker.com). If you get busted "wasting time on the Internet", feign shock, and explain your web-based research methods.
