Introducing Journalism.me

My latest project has finally launched: Journalism.me. Please, check it out and share the link.
The project actually came from a tweet by Jay Rosen, who wanted to know if a list of 20-something year old journalism bloggers existed. To my knowledge, none existed at the time.

Why I won’t run advertisements on AngryJournalist.com

A few friends of mine asked me why I refused to put up advertising on AngryJournalist.com, even something as simple as a few text ads from Google AdSense despite it being relatively successful in terms of traffic. I have a few reasons for this.

Two weeks later, reflecting back at the AngryJournalist.com experiment

It’s been two weeks since I announced the launch of AngryJournalist.com and since that time the site has exceeded every expectation I held for it. However, it comes with a mixed feelings about its so-called success, and I still see no solution for the problems that plague the journalism industry.
