I know everything except the stuff I don't: October 2009

Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Tweeting when you don’t want to invest much time. The headline and premise of this post seems counterproductive to the nature and value of Twitter. You get more value out of Twitter with the more time you invest. 1 Tweet for story ideas.

http://journalistnate.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Journalism colleague wins posthumous column writing award. Losing someone at a young age is hard, and it's no easier reliving the memories. Writing this blog post has been a struggle. The feelings and details are as vivid now as they were then. I wanted to provide the background and spread the news. Then, I was taken in by the stories and obituaries. My eyes welled up. It was too much. I apologize for the delay. Included an internship at the Auburn Journal. In a time when stude...
