Great but what is she going to journal?
For all the mess the newspapers are in now, there is no better job in the world than writing.
Congratulations. My daughter was accepted to Columbia for graduate school too! She's going in public policy. Maybe we'll cross paths in NYC!
Congrats to her!
That's fantastic--congratulations!
Outstanding! Congratulations!
Thank you all.
eisjeff: Yes, the newspapers are in tough shape, but everyone still needs content.
Nin: How cool!
Your daughter who was (is?) in the Peace Corps?
Congratulations!
I hope we (and they) do cross paths!
Congratulations!
Congrats! As a long-time newspaper person, I do cringe a little when people say they want to do this, but getting into it now, she no doubt understands the death of the traditional newspaper and the need for good internet and magazine content.
Wish her well for me!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to her.
It was what I always wished I could be - but circumstances were not right for me at the time, so it is lovely to hear of somebody else getting their wish fulfilled.
Congratulations! I'm sure it's wonderful to see your kids making these kinds of decisions.
Congrats and good luck to her.
Many congrats!
Thank you all.
Hannah reads this blog, and she thanks you, too.
A million thanks. It means a lot. Let's see how much money they give me, though....
