Journalism

Me covering the summit

So its official, I'm finally a paid journalist! I got a job with The Technocrat doing Electronic Content Management and writing pieces from time to time. I am trying to get the Technocrat website updated and also covering national politics and economics. Expect a lot of news from us, things are coming along nicely, we should have a nice interactive web presence up and running fairly soon.
If you take a look at the September 15th issue, you can read a couple of articles I have written. The topics are the Iraq War and student debt, topics I am sure I will be revisiting down the road. If any readers out there have ideas for stories, be sure and let me know!
The Montana Economic Summit was an interesting experience. I was there to hear Warren Buffet and Steve Ballmer, as well as several different foreign ambassadors. The topic of the day was jobs, and that was mostly what we heard about, but there was some interesting points made throughout the event. Ballmer gave an evangelizing talk on the future of information technology, and Buffet was reassuring the masses that the American economy would not enter a "double dip" recession. Not sure I agree, but it was fun to listen. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in doing business in Montana check it out next time around.
