Ahhh, Blogging and Sports Comes of Age

One for the Soon-To-Be-Graduates

Lisa Williams over at the Idea Lab has a post on the “10 Things Journalists Should Know About Surviving in a High-Tech Industry.” It took me a moment with thinking of “journalism” as a “high-tech industry,” but it is.

Those soon to depart Athens looking for photo work, drop me a note – one of our alums has an opening at her paper. (Don’t want to post it all here to keep her boss form being spammed.)
