A photo from New York's Central Park taken in the summer of 2010 on my baseball trip with CJ and Richard.

A friend of mine and a fellow journalist … we’ll call him CJ … has started a blog to share his concerns and ideas about the future of journalism and his place in it.

In case any of the three to four dozen insane people who visit this blog each day are interested in checking it out, it’s called JournalismNext: The future of journalism is within our grasp. You can click on that link or find the link listed in the journalism section of my links at the right of the main page any time.
