Moving Up—and Down(under)

Our old website, LampPost Media has some dated issues. So right now it's hiding somewhere on the Internet.

No matter. Here I am in the land down under, living near in-laws and enjoying sunny, coat-less days, and journalism looks slightly different here. People who report the news here aren't reporters; they're "Journos". 

As expected, their coverage is full of the things that matter to Aussies right now: front page sports news, issues in private schools, gambling addictions and the complexities of justice for and with Indigenous peoples here. 

I haven't written to much about these stories (did cover gambling recently), but I have explored life down under to this 'foreigner' on my blog: A Sun Burnt Faith. Hope you'll come by and say "G'day!"

When Does A Blog Become An Archive?

This is an easy question: when I haven't posted in a year. And probably am not likely to soon because my journalism assignments in the U.S. have gone on a bit of a hiatus. (Alas, I've spent the past twelve months writing a bunch of stuff for cool organizations who now, um, kind of own those stories. That's okay too.)

So please forgive me, anyone who might have glanced at these pages; I'll be using this blog now simply to archive stories I've written for publication under my own byline. Or comments I can't help but make on some aspect of journalism—that aren't necessarily the opinions of said orgs.

More news and stories—and adventures—await. Thanks for checking in.
