Hilarious. You know what got me my job? Tinkering with SEO/social media a bit.
Well, that, along with the whole journalism bit. I like to think I wasn’t half bad…
@Daniel You really should tell that story on Old Media New Tricks one of these days.
Tinkering is the one activity that keeps the world moving forward. So tinker to your hearts delight. Now just tinker to find a way to keep newspapers relevant!
