Last week my Web site was hacked. That may seem like bad news, but it provided a moment of clarity.
It was time for a change.
The Journalism Iconoclast is no more. That’s not who I am anymore. More on that later.
My new blog is Endemic. It’s a blog on being. On being a member of this world. On being of a generation that grew up with the Internet.
That’s the lens that frames my world view. And my world view is no longer just on journalism. This is a blog about being a human being.
It’s going to break all the rules of blogging that I have exposed. Whereas The Journalism Iconoclast was laser focused on journalism and new media, this blog will be about anything that strikes or moves me.
I won’t care about SEO or catering to a narrow niche. I don’t have to. So I won’t.
I still have BeatBlogging.Org. That has tons of SEO and a tight niche. That’s where you’ll find my journalism thoughts and work.
But I’ve always been more than just a journalist. I’ve always cared about more than just journalism. I want a personal Web site that reflects that reality.
Here, you’ll find me and only me. One day it might be my thoughts on education, while another is about media. And another day you might find some pictures that I took while walking in nature.
I am who I am. And I don’t care about SEO or page views. I just want to write what I want to write when I want to write it. So I will.
The Journalism Iconoclast was a moment in time. That time has passed.
