I come back to this blog, and really I realize I never should have left. This is where I started my journey into a new era of journalism that many my age found frightening.
I feel like I've come a long way in the past two years. I made many new friends. I discovered Twitter, which brought me to a new level of reporting and may have saved my career.
I've talked to journalists around the country about how I use multimedia and social media to do my job. I've sought out others and tried to learn from the best.
My experiment with SPJ that moved me to leave this space was so successful the organization made that blog their own for a new committee on digital news that I was proud to help initiate. It's great when something that started to just chronicle my learning has such value for others. It was sad to leave that blog, but that didn't mean leaving blogging.
So I return here, where I started.
May others find this and jump in, because one part of this new era of journalism I've really learned to enjoy is not writing for an audience, but having a conversation with friends.
