tales from the city
Sorry, that I have been MIA as far as the blog is concerned. I'm a little inept when it comes to technology, so our dear friend Dariush gave me some instructions. (Although, this is proving to be far easier than I would have thought.)
Ok, so here's a re-cap about my my summer in the city. Working at the AP has been an amazing experience. Not only have I gotten some great bylines/clips, but I've learned so much about the world of business news. I've gotten to work on a whole variety of stories, including doing a lot of fast spot-news for the AP's financial wire. One of my favorite things I worked on was not actually my byline, but a story I contributed to. It was looking at the business/economic implications of the hockey lock-out. I got to talk to a whole variety of people (comapny CEOs, local business owners, people in sports marketing) and go through some SEC filings (which I think is fun, because I'm a nerd). Of course, one of the really exciting things about working for the AP has been googling myself and seeing where my stories have gotten picked up. (Like I said, I'm a nerd.)
Living in New York, of course, has been a blast. I've seen almost all there is to see including, but certainly not limited to: four shows on Broadway, the view from the top of the Empire State Building, the beauty that is Central Park, Coney Island and the Coney Island freak show, Hoboken, NJ (birthplace of Sinatra), etc. etc.
Today is actually my last day of work. I leave to go back to school early next week. But this weekend, I'll be turning 21 and this town won't know what hit them! I'm pumped.
Hope everyone is continuing to do well. I know you're all writing some great things out there.
*side note: if you haven't yet, I suggest reading Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner - it's outstanding!*
