a statement

In my world, that is the world of journalism, every day there is someone new telling me the sky is falling. I'm the last cowboy on the dinosaur ranch.
But, I think these are the best times to be a journalist or an artist. So many exciting ways to tell stories and the stories have more emotion and are therefore more like art and less like reportage. I have never been a one-tick journalist and I'm happy the days of those types are over. I can't ponder the big question of the future of my profession but I can take a deep breath, relinquish control of the future and concentrate on regaining the creative edge.
It's not about technology; it's about creative flow.
