At my new job, I get to read about Nevada history and play on a computer all day.
While doing both of these things, I came across the following in an article I was editing:

I hold true to the belief that college is the best place to do journalism.
Unlike the professional world, your peers are your editors. There are no worries about layoffs or bankruptcies. It’s about passion. You know what I mean – it’s midnight and the paper needs to be out NOW, or it’s the middle of the day and you need to post that story NOW before the local paper does it. You’re tired, you’re grumpy – but you’re satisfied, you’re proud.
With the media field changing rapidly, what better time has there been for journalists to take that passion and combine it with creativity to produce innovation?
I haven’t been able to fall asleep and I haven’t blogged in two weeks, so here we go:
– I have been working on the same blog post about my thoughts on the future of this industry for at least a week now. It will eventually be posted, I swear.
– I have updated my rejection list as promised. However, I’ve also received one e-mail telling me I’ve made the first cut and gone through a phone interview at another paper (do not want to jinx by naming said papers). So, keeping my fingers crossed. If anything becomes official, I’ll probably post within an hour of finding out.
