Welcome to the Hungry Journalist

This is the first post of the Hungry Journalist.

I felt the need to start this blog for a variety of reasons.

First, there is not a lot of perspective out there for a young journo. I wanted to write about my experience as a young person working as a print journo so that others can learn.

Second, I want another outlet for my work besides the newspaper that I write for. I want a place to play with ideas, experiment and get feedback.

Third, I wanted a place to display my talent for any potential employers.

Fourth, I wanted a place to discuss media issues with readers. Take it from someone in the business, there is no liberal media agenda. We barely have the presence of mind to get our coffee in the morning, we don't have the collective mind set to elect presidents or determine the course of a nation.

Let me know what you think. This blog is about dialog as much as it is about me experimenting with journalism. Email me at robardsforbes@gmail.com if you don't want your comment to be public.
