Today marks the one-year anniversary of Journalism or Bust!, the online documentation of the actions taken in my quest of achieving a lifelong dream of becoming a journalist. Over that span, I've upload 78 items here about a wide variety of subjects and personal experiences with the intent of showing an evolutionary improvement in my skills and overall journalistic perspective. I've completed three classes in my UMass program and will be taking a journalism ethics course in the fall term.
I'd like to thank the folks from all around the globe who have come by here either by accident or perhaps on purpose. A few of my posts have been very popular (the Obama rally in Columbus last May, the Santorium event outside Cincinnati back in March) and Blogger is showing that over 5,000 pageviews have occurred over the past 12 months. Granted, this is just a drop in the bucket when compared to the volume of visits The Huffington Post, The New York Times and other media "giants" see on a daily (or even hourly) basis but I'm not doing this for the exposure (or any revenue). Right now, this blog is a labor of love that I will look back at in a few years' time to help me gauge just how far I really advanced towards my goal.
Year #2 starts today...I can't wait!
