I am finding more and more people tell me there is no future for journalism. My philosophy is that although newspapers may be on the downfall, the need for good, news reporting journalists, isn't. As I continue my journey of learning all there is about journalism and technology, I will post here.

Episode number two

Podcast episode two is finished and ready to be listened to. It features Tim Healey, a senior from my hometown of Danbury, CT. Currently he is the editor of the Danbury High School newspaper, The Hatters Herald. He has done a great job with their newspaper and next year he will be moving on to bigger and better things as a freshman at Boston University.

One of my favorite quotes from this episode is when Tim is talking about what he hopes to accomplish next year at BU. He says "I just want to let people know I'm there." I think that is one of the best possible things you can do your first year. Don't stand in the background, let people know you are there and ready to work. If editors and professors don't know your name with in the first few months, then you are in for a long journey. I have found that when people can place a face to your name, then things like getting stories or even some extra help on a paper come much more easily.

Listen Here:


Good luck next year Tim!
