Peter Suderman at AFF was kind enough to ask me to be the inaugural subject of their new “bloggers on blogging” feature. You can read our conversation here. Lots of discussion of blogging: its utility for journalists, its particular utility for aspiring young journalists, how corporations can do it well, and its future. Check it out.
For those not familiar with AFF, it’s an important DC-centered organization that helps aspiring right-of-center policy wonks network and pick up skills that will be important to their careers. I was in charge of their Science and Technology section for a couple of years, and if you scroll down you can find my old columns. Writing an (unpaid) regular column was great practice, as well as a great way to showcase their writing skills. Any libertarians or conservatives who either (1) live in DC or (2) want to become writers should get involved with AFF and/or get involved with writing for them.
