11 Jun 08 It’s official! I’m moving to the Twin Cities

After a long and difficult decision between two great opportunities, I finally had to choose. I am now an Associate Editor for Online News at Minnesota Public Radio, part of the American Public Media Group. The next few weeks will be spent handling the logistics of moving 1,600 miles, getting acclimated to the Twin Cities and learning my new role as part of the MPR team.

Once I get settled this blog will come alive again, especially once I’m playing a large role in the online development of such a creative and diverse news organization. I’m looking forward to having a more direct perspective of the online journalism world as we enter this age of broad and sweeping change in our beloved industry.

To say I am excited about this opportunity would be putting it mildly. Yay for the future!

18 Mar 08 I am job

So I applied for four dream jobs last night and today.

Web producer, The Baltimore Sun
Overnight online producer, WashingtonPost.com
Hyperlocal producer, San Francisco Chronicle
Assistant web editor, The Nation

I’m hoping my eyes aren’t bigger than my stomach, but there is no harm in trying. Plus, someone whose opinion I hold in high regard told me there is no reason why any of these places shouldn’t consider me. Hey, it will be an honor just to be nominated.

The doors are wide open.
