Quote of the Day

It’s your world, I’m just reporting in it.

I don’t remember who said it, but at a Journalism That Matters conference somebody said the following as a distinction between a professional journalist and a citizen journalist:

"A professional reports on the news. A citizen journalist shares the news that is happening in their life."

  1. Hello David…

    I checked-out your blog today and two sentences caught my attention:

    “A professional reports on the news. A citizen journalist shares the news that is happening in their life.”

    That’s what I do.

    I have faithfully posted to my blog for over three-years now.

    Like millions of other people do in their own blog every day.

    But in my case, I have had to rely on [for the most part] free-net access sites.

    That’s because I’m a poor road rat and [until recently] I didn’t have my own computer to use.

    I am poor because I have spent the past fifteen-years hitchhiking around North America.

    Now I’m 52 and in another generation.

    The liberals think I’m uncool and the conservatives swear I’m a radical subversive.

    Actually, I’m Ruthie.

    And I’ve kept the NewsTrust link on my blog since NT went online.

    I like your blog. Keep up the good work.

    And I’ll keep posting in my blog…sharing the news about my life with the rest of our world.
