I noticed a blurb on Twitter last night from a guy who’s applied to more than 200 news jobs in the last few years, and only received 3 interviews and no job offers. Of course it’s possible that the individual is insane or has no marketable skills, but it’s also likely that he’s not... »

My broadcast journalism career began when I was six years old. Since then, I’ve traveled thousands of miles and met hundreds of people. Some were nice, some were scoundrels, and some were so evil that they can’t be talked about. My career is a series of snapshots, pictures that I carry around in my... »
