I'm a Journalist who left Journalism after being censored during my coverage of the 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC and subsequently being blacklisted due to the blanket policy Newsday instituted during their circulation scandal (Two unrelated & unfortunate affairs).
I've decided to re-enter the Journalistic arena due mainly in part to the various Youtubers whom have breathed new life into my Field as of late, with their coverage of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election firmly entrenching these various folks as the new standard in freelance Journalism.
As I am re-entering my field, I felt this would be the perfect place to start, especially since Mr. Dave Cullen (@DaveCullen) of Computing Forever fame is one of the people I cite as reinvigorating my faith in the field.
I appreciate his indirect hand in making this decision as well as his direct affect he has had by guiding me to this website.
Hopefully I will be able to utilize this site to the full extent of its promising potential. Again, Dave, my thanks to you sir.
