On starting out in the media biz…

I want to just start writing some more personal stuff on the site. Nothing heavy, just some occasional bloggy, diary, off-the-top-my-head stuff. I want you to feel like you know the guy behind the byline, but really I don’t want it to be all about me. Just me talking about stuff, which may include some personal stories from the past or riffing a bit more on the events of the day. Nothing political – I’m not going to start being one of those tiring sports writers who fills his/her workplace platform with political beliefs.

I want to talk about my start in the journalism business, and how different it is from today, and try to apply it to the younger folk in here reading this, who are curious about how to do this for a living.
