We knew the triumphs: landing your first front page story, scoring the perfect beat, acing an interview, finding a nurturing editor. We knew the complaints: high pressure, unclear expectations, skeptical colleagues, no feedback. We relied on each other. Young journalists attract one other in newsrooms, talking shop over lunch, bouncing ideas around the office, venting over drinks. The Association of Young Journalists (pronounced ′age′) was created as a national network of journalists younger than 35 who are committed to professional growth. What started out as an idea at a Denver burrito joint in May 2003, quickly became the network of more than 900 reporters, editors, photographers, designers and producers that we have today.

My wife Diana and I took a bike ride on the Greenways from Vienna to Prague. On our return I made a mini travelogue, plus I put together a little academic spoof. These little two-minute vlogs are much more meaningful to me than just a simple slide show. Plus they help bring out the amateur creative touch. They are a blast and much more fun to share with friends than are simple postcards. They can and should all be incorporated into the We Media movement. They were shot again with my little digital camera and put together with a Serious Magic program as described here. They are stored at the free to use OurMedia site.
