Blogging has also taught me to use key words for my headlines . As a copy editor, I know your average rules for writing print headlines, but headlines for the Internet are different and a little more challenging.

A little bit about the news. Let me emphasize, however, that this blog does not try to report the news. Instead, this will cover issues in journalism, and some of the fun facts, errors and general wackiness it entails. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. I figure I would have my last post be about how print is getting its but kicked by radio. Over the past couple months, I have gotten hooked on podcasts from NPR. That is all I have to say about that.

Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Can I get your blog address? But, with blogging becoming so popular as of lately, I am glad that I got to experience a little of what the craze is all about. Maybe one day, when I feel like I have a better grasp on editing techniques and my own personal style, I will take up blogging again. And who knows, instead of asking for phone numbers, people may start asking for blog addresses. Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Monday, December 1, 2008.
