I’m in the New York Times (sort of)
I’m in the New York Times! There are few outlets for a journalist more prestigious than this but I can’t lean back and say I’ve made it because sadly I’m not in it as a journalist. I’m in it as an average Jo Citizen (if that’s possible without actually being a US citizen).
The travel section has an article on New York’s botanic gardens and it kicks off with a walking tour of Brooklyn Botanic Gardens on how to get the most of the gardens in winter and how to beat the winter blues. (The article is dated January 20 but it’s actually online now). I had no idea this was going to happen (maybe because I joined late) but I was on that tour and that’s me in the photo on the far right with the floppy wide-brimmed black hat. (One of several hats I bought in NYC – I’m having a bit of a hat moment).
So I didn’t make the New York Times in the journalistic sense but I did make the South China Morning Post, Hong Kong’s English language newspaper, which I’m pretty pleased about. More on that over at my professional site.
