Journalism
This archive is big, overwhelmingly big. I set up this site early in the millenium, when the newspapers I wrote for didn’t seem to be archiving my writing. (Hah!)
My plan is to work through it all, and share the best of it in a new form – as well as writing things that are entirely new, on Substack, Think Like A Journalist.
Why publish in a newsletter?
Good question. Why not just post it here on my website? Well, I’m increasingly drawn to writing in a way that isn’t entirely public.
Partly that’s for me: I don’t always want to share everything with everyone. But also for you, dear reader, because many people don’t leave comments or reply to public posts but do reply to emails. I like to incorporate your observations and queries as I go along.
Naturally, I won’t mind if you don’t reply, or even read what I send.
