GAAAHHH. Blogging hasn't just been light lately, it's been non-existant. I've been in a non-writing mode, focusing on business planning for the past couple of weeks. It's something I should have done when I started to freelance but strategic planning and being a journalist seem like things that shouldn't go together.
But this weekend pulled me back into the news world. My wonderful and talented husband won a National Newspaper Award for politics reporting (he's not in the photo - that's Graeme Smith from the Globe, who won two well-deserved awards. But they have matching post-Afghanistan beards).
Besides the amazing high from Steve winning an award, it was fabulous to see all the excellent journalism done around the country. Simply reading the list of nominations doesn't do justice to the investigations and reporting that newspapers still manage to squeeze out, despite cutbacks. It's been a bad year for the business, but this was a nice reminder that some newsrooms are still committed to shining light into darkness.
