From journalism to blogging

ADVERTISEMENTS

Erick Schonfeld, a former journalist for Time, reflects on the change from moving from Time to TechCrunch:

Blink, and six months go by. Ever since I made the move from Time Inc. to TechCrunch, my life has become a whirlwind of nonstop blog posting, little sleep, and a growing addiction to news feeds, Techmeme, and my Blackberry. Last week, I wrote my 600th post (this one is No. 617). The boxes I brought over from my previous career are still stacked, unopened, in my TechCrunch office. A lone painting from my three-year-old son adorns the wall. I have not had time to unpack or even buy a bookshelf to put things on. Fourteen years worth of stuff, and it still amazes me I don?t need any of it.

The journalist in me has been avoiding this post (too navel-gazing, too self-absorbed), but the blogger in me can?t help it. Media is changing?how it is produced and how it is consumed. The worlds of blogging and journalism are colliding and I want to get some thoughts down on this transition before I forget what the old world was like or feel too comfortable in the new one. (Fair warning: If you don?t like long posts, skip this one).
