Hey everyone,
Since I haven't been doing much with this thing so far, and since I got laid off at the Kamloops Daily News and now have nothing to do, I've decided to try and post something every day. For this week at least.
Below is the editorial I wrote before the federal election in October. It was actually noticed by CBC Radio in Victoria, and I was a guest on "All Points West" to talk about youth voter apathy. I don't know how I did, but my mom and my girlfriend said I did a good job, and I'm sure they weren't biased in any way.
Anyway, give it a read and let me know what you think. I'll be back tomorrow with another post, which will (hopefully) be longer and more interesting than this one.

I'm sad to hear about the lay off. As for the editorial, I've always liked your conversational tone. I think that in the right setting, you could really find your voice and write in a way that interests both you and your readership. The Kamloops Daily News is not, I believe, the proper format for that anyway. How much of your voice shines through in a report on the local sports goings on? Did you listen to Bill Simmons and Chuck Klosterman talk about the state of sports journalism recently? It's a tough field -- that's part of the reason I decided not to enter it way back in 1999.
ReplyDeleteHey I thought you were going to write everyday this week? What happened? I've been sitting on the edge of my seat all week waiting for what you'll write next.
