The Blog

It’s been two weeks and I can honestly say I’m amazed by how the Associated Press runs its operation. Hands down, it has the best news research and resource center I’ve ever seen or heard of. Need to know how many crabs President Clinton ate while he was in office? Well, okay, maybe not that specific. But they are damn good!

My first week, third day, was the Holocaust Museum shooting in D.C. I was able to jump in on some of the action and got myself a contributing line on an “A wire” story. At first I was only mildly excited until a family friend said she was reading the Post in print at work and saw my name jump out at her. Sometimes it’s just nice to here people are still reading what we journalists are writing.

I’m pretty busy for the next few weeks. I’ll update about AP again in mid-July.
