Archive for December, 2008 Monthly archive page. Using Twitter in the Newsroom. On December 30, 2008. I hate to harp on again about Twitter, but it’s been heavily on my mind since the Mumbai attacks (This post was delayed for far too long, I know). Once again, Twitter was hailed as the on-the-ground, revolutionary, citizen-journalism breakthrough by the web community. More so this time, when mainstream media paid attention and leveraged on the reporting done through Twitter. On December 30, 2008. One thi...

On February 10, 2011. 8220;I don’t want to work in the mag line again,” said one former mag editor whom I randomly bumped into in a cafe.

Archive for January, 2011 Monthly archive page. On January 14, 2011. So, it’s been a good three months now that I’ve left The Edge as Assistant Editor of New Media after barely hanging on during the culling period. And many — including my parents — have wondered if such a move was a wise one: replacing a steady paycheck for an unstable series of opportunities as freelance writer/producer doesn’t sound like the sanest thing to do after all.
