My recent move to D.C. was a result of my new job at National Journal as a Staff Reporter, so it’s only fair that you can see some of my work. My new beat is Energy and Environment and there’s always a lot going on with that both nationally and internationally.
Some stuff below is subscriber only and so far, I have been writing only for CongressDaily. BUT….brace yourself for National Journal’s re-launch this fall!! We’ve had some pretty incredible hires (myself included, of course) and it’s an exciting time.
Here are some links the latest film/concert/etc previews reviews I have published up on Encore Magazine, including some from the Newport Beach Film Festival:
Today, the MySpace Journal Winner was announced. Unfortunately, I did not win, but congratulations to Sloane Berrent, this year’s winner! It is an important endeavor for citizen journalists to voice their opinions at such a significant international event.
Although I did not win, I would like to thank you all for your support and votes!
I appreciate all of your efforts to help me win this contest and your words of encouragement. Despite the disappointment, I will, nevertheless, continue to follow the proceedings of the 40th Annual Meeting in Davos very closely, and I suggest you do the same. Here is the website: http://www.weforum.org/en/events/AnnualMeeting2010/index.htm
In addition, I will continue to seek out opportunities like this to to excel as a journalist and to contribute to the global conversation.
Here’s a photo of the quarter sheet ad announcing the finalists in The Wall Street Journal today. It’s on A15, if you buy a copy Remember to VOTE! (I’m on the far left)
Hey everyone! Just thought you might want to take a look at my submission video before voting. I know, I talk fast…but I have a lot of great things to say and I would really love a chance to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos this year!!!
It’s an amazing opportunity for me as well as for citizen journalists. As I discuss in my video, social media is changing the way we do everything these days, including global discussion. Even the World Economic Forum itself is dipping its toes into this with WELCOM, a collaborative platform that integrates Web 2.0 technology and will enable leaders to build knowledge, share insights and reach out to key stakeholders as an online community throughout the year. I think it’s pretty cool that the world is changing the way it resolves conflicts and adapts simultaneously to our current technology and social media addicted society.
It’s even more amazing that they are allowing citizen journalists to take part in this conversation. In the past year, we realized just how much the economy can affect each and every one of us as individuals. Especially for recent grads, we stepped into an economy and job market we knew nothing about and we had it pretty bad, but we’re still here today and we’ve learned from our mistakes and our experiences and we are ready to contribute to the global conversation. Give me a chance to join that!
Thank you so much for all of your support!!! You guys are amazing!
For an update and yet another annoying reminder to retweet, pass on the news to all your friends and to vote (www.myspace.com/myspacejournal), I have included some the coverage for the contest that I have found online. Pretty cool stuff! …more to come
