I have been thinking recently that the time had come to resuscitate this blog. I’d launched it back in 2011 while job searching. Then, I got that new job. I moved my family two states south, dove into learning a new profession, started running a weekly magazine and here we are nearly five years later.
I’m now an assistant professor at the Missouri School of Journalism. I teach students how to make magazines while putting out a weekly city magazine called Vox. It’s pretty much a dream job. I also still do some freelance writing on the side, mostly for the publication I ran for many years, Birds & Blooms. Oh, and I’m in graduate school, working toward a master’s in journalism.
I watch very little TV. But I will try to write here from time to time. About media. About teaching college students media. About the state of magazines. About the advice I hear. About what I’m writing and doing.
That’s the plan anyway.
