Every so often I will blog about a journalistic work that I admire or think was done well. Today marks the first time someone else, whom I do not know, has blogged about me and one of my stories.In Columbia, MO there are only a few local blogs that aren't run by a news companies that frequently write about local topics. One of those blogs is done by Mike Martin.
Now to be honest in the past I have checked out his blog to make sure I wasn't missing any great stories around town, and he usually has some good stuff. There have been times I have considered taking an idea from his sight a doing a story, but I never have. So when I found out that my own work was admired and written about in this blog, it gave me a sense of accomplishment. All spring semester I worked on a three part series on parking issues in Columbia, MO for my investigative journalism class. The fact that my story got picked up by this blogger in a way validated my journalism. Thanks Mike.
Check out the post. I am referred to as "KOMU."
