When I first stumbled into blogging over 12 years ago, it was for two reasons: curiosity and freedom. I was curious about the potential for writing in this new medium; and for the first time, I felt total freedom as a writer. On my little blog, I was beholden to no one but my readers.

Should journalism professors who support news censorship be publicly pilloried?
Stories are in the works.

More from Colleague Larry Shore. This is an earlier email. Again, my comments are in red.
The Central Park 5
Saturday, December 22nd, 2012This picture of Yusef Salaam is one of the most haunting pictures of the century.
Everyone should see this Ken Burns documentary at least once on the big screen. Then a few times on the screens at home. And recommend to families and friends and neighbors.
