300 and counting

Last night marked my 300th published news story with just over 270 of them in The Boston Globe.

The majority of these have come this year. It’s still just as exciting to see my work in the Globe as it was when I worked my way up from obituaries as a co-op student working weekends. I believe I’m making the right move by freelancing and sticking close to this newspaper while I start grad school in journalism.

It’s funny to see how far I’ve come from a criminal justice student, to a future publicist, to a news reporter.

    John!!! Long time no talk!

    First, congratulations on you 300th article and all you work with the Globe. I know how exciting it was when I was part of a weekly column for USA Today back in 2007, so I totally get you excitement over seeing your work and name in print. Even though most of my recent writing has been online, I still get a kick out of seeing my name on Techmeme. Crazy. When we were 14 and 15, did you think we’d be here? I know I figured I’d be a lawyer by now.

    Congratulations on all your successes!
