The thin line between sanity and journalism

Journalism Update

A couple of things:

I now have a full-time independent contractor position with Adotas. Pretty cool. I should’ve negotiated a little better, but I’m sure those skills will come with time.

I’m starting to pitch arts and entertainment articles to various publications here in the city. If there was ever a city mad for entertainment, it’s New York.

I’m working on a number of articles for some friends of mine. Not really for pay, but for fun, to help them out, and to get my name on something that’s not related to online advertising.

I’ve been examining journalism schools. I don’t want to spend the time and expense to go for a full-fledged master’s degree. Don’t get me wrong. I love school and study and I’d love to get a Master’s in Journalism. But it’s awful expensive, and getting a Masters in Journalism would get in the way of actually doing journalism. Instead I’ve been looking at schools with shorter programs, specifically those that offer a one year Bachelor of Journalism program.
