Okay, so I’ve taken some time off. Well, almost a month to be exact. I apologize, but it was a much needed break.
I am now back in Brooklyn and ready to get going again (I have one story to write and several pitch ideas in the making).
First I should note that my time at Columbia Journalism Review has ended. It was a good run and I hope to keep in touch with the people there, but alas, I must move on. Before leaving, the other intern and I went out with some of the CJR Daily people for a night on the town. Bryan Keefer also gave me a copy of his book “All the Presidents Spin.” It’s a good read and although two years outdated, one can see how the same spin is taking place right now. The only difference is the exposure that spin is getting in the press.
So CJR is done but not forgotten, I have many books that I “borrowed” while working there which I want to catch up on. Also, I am still going to the journalism building frequently because I am now a journalism student at Columbia.
While I have other posts that I want to catch up on, I think it’s safe to say that this blog may change direction soon. I’m not sure where exactly. I have only been though orientation and the program is already very humbling.
But for now, I hope all is well. You will hear from me shortly. At first it might be catching up, some stories to tell ect, but I do hope that I will keep everything relevant to the subject at hand: Good writing.
Just dropping by to welcome you back. I look forward to reading your future posts.
Take care,
Vic
