On Assigning War Correspondents

Bill Keller at the New York Times has an interesting piece up on The Lives of Wartime Photographers, the crux of which doesn’t come until the very end. He talks with several combat photographers, including Joao Silva who lost his legs while on assignment for the paper last year, about why they do it. But it’s the last two grafs,...

Collaborations Between Writers and Photographers

Dan Zak at the Washington Post has a piece up on the value of writers working with photojournalists on local stories.

Jobs I Want

Not that I don’t love this job, but if my world were to collapse, I think I’d throw my name at this job opening at KING-TV in Seattle. Why?

After being one of four New York Times journalists seized in Libya, Lynsey Addario has posted an entry on the Times’ Lens blog about why it’s important for women to cover war – and why gender shouldn’t, and doesn’t, matter.

Time Management to Create the Work Environment You Want

When I was at SXSW Interactive, one of the panels I headed to was looking at making time for projects. The description sounded great, though I’d never heard of the presenters or the organizations they were from (both software developers).
