An update on this blogger and blog
This blog began nine months ago as part of an independent study I was doing at my university on the effects of the Internet on journalists and their roles.
Today, that project is long complete and I found and started a job as a reporter for the Post Co. in Eastern Idaho. I started this job this week, as you’ll note by the change in my information on the side of this blog and if you follow me on other social networks. This is also why I have not posted in about two weeks as I was graduating from college, moving from Spokane to Idaho Falls, and beginning this position.
My job entails reporting for three of the Post Co.’s newspapers – the weekly Jefferson Star and Shelley Pioneer and the daily Post Register (Note: The fact that links are missing to the other two newspapers is because they do not currently have Web sites. I’m crossing my fingers they will soon be in the works). My time is split between the three, though I will be spending more time with the Jefferson Star and also copy editing for that publication. In many respects, I’ll be a mobile journalist.
While it does not seem at the moment like I will be doing much online journalism, I hope those opportunities are forthcoming. I plan to continue to make strives in that area. I will continue keeping this blog, looking at issues of new media and the Internet, and, hopefully, providing you with useful resources and information.
I’m so excited with your post-grad plans. I’ll look forward to see how things are going for you with your new job.
