Out of the Newsroom

Every summer comes along and I try to make a list of the things I want to accomplish. Many of the items are of the home or self improvement variety, as is probably true for most people at my “station in life”.

But prolific Twitter user Victor Hernandez of CNN points us to a simply amazing list on the website 10000words.net The 10,000 words people have assembled a great list titled “Journalism Grads: 30 things you should do this summer.”

Except they underestimated the audience.

The post should be retitled “30 things every journalist must be able to do by the end of this summer.”

So, now I pretty much have a whole new list to work on. Plus, I’m pretty sure that my wife will not be letting me off the hook for any of those home improvement items, either.
