Blank sheets
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009There’s those moments when I figure why I am working for a newspaper: There’s no more joy in life than creating, day after day. There is the blank sheet of paper and you are the one to fill it.

special moments
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009I don’t recall ever having a day that felt like it would change my life but this one did. When I got the call and they told me I had been selected for the 2009 US-Austrian Journalism Exchange all I could come up with was silence and a few uttered words. Then the call ended [...]
