I Have To Always Remember, Writing Is

Instagram - It's Fun, But Facebook, No, Just Here And There. I Use Instagram As A Kick, Like When Somebody Tells Me To Check Out So-and-so's Instagram Account To Check Out Their French Toast Or A Trip To Tanzania. But I Don't Have An Account.

I Got In Journalism For Any Number Of Reasons, Not Least Because It's So Much Fun. Journalism Should Be In The Business Of Putting Pressure On Power, Finding Out The Truth, Of Shining A Light On Injustice, Of, When Appropriate, Being Amusing And Entertaining - It's A Complicated And Varied Beast, Journalism.

A.j. Liebling, One Of My Heroes, Used To Say That He Could Write Better Than Anyone Who Wrote Faster, And Faster Than Anyone Who Could Write Better. I'm One Nine-hundredth As Good As Liebling, But That Principle May Slightly Apply.

As Journalists, We Need To Find Every Avenue To Distribute Our Work, And Try To Be So Good That We Become Increasingly More Influential Than Before.

I'm A Journalist - I'm Not Robert Caro. I Have A Day Job, And A Pretty Consuming One - A Joyfully Consuming One.
