It's been a while since I've posted here. Now, I'm back. I'm energized, and I've got new ideas and new knowledge to share.
A little personal update: I started the blog mostly as a way to keep myself busy and sharp during a period of unemployment. That ended a while ago, and I've been busy since. The current job has been both good and bad. It was a big step back on my career path, out of management and back on weekends. I also shifted from a very "big J" place to a place that lives, breathes, and eats breaking news. I've had to recover and develop some breaking news skills that I had let atrophy, and I'm better for it. I'm also in a newsroom that embraces digital storytelling, so I'm learning some new skills. I've also found new resources, and I'm looking to share those, as well as my own thoughts.
I'm also changing the name of this blog. It used to be "ReinventingTheMedia." Well, that's just pretentious. I'm not reinventing anything. In reality, journalism is in a constant shift, but the most important thing is still telling a story. So, for now, I'm landing on "StoryShift" as a title. If you have a better suggestion, let me know.
