New media

As a journalist and also someone who studies the media, these times can be scary, exciting, and disorienting. Last week, a friend e-mailed me a link to to a start-up that hopes to make a business printing blogs. Today - I have something in my in-box about a photo contest run by Demotix. I have no idea which ideas will take off - and that's the thing - I don't think anyone does.
But I do like the look and feel of Demotix so far...

Hey, I'm Andy Heath the Commissioning Editor for Demotix. I saw your blog post on us, and would love to see any photos that you might have from Azerbaijan or elsewhere. Give me a shout if I can help in any way - andy@demotix.com.

Best wishes,

Andy

Thanks, Andy. As you might know from reading this blog, I train journalists - and I have recommended your site to a few people. But hearing from you directly gives me greater incentive. I'll drop you a line for a more detailed description of what's going on....
