Folks, I said when I was starting what turned out to be just a tiny bit of time off over the holidays that Dateline Earth would return in early January. While I still hope that will be true — early January technically runs through the 15th, right? — it’s going to be a little longer than I’d hoped.
The reason: I’m wrapping up an in-depth story. Remember those? This first major outing for me under the InvestigateWest banner promises to be eye-opening for those interested in environmental health. I need to concentrate on finishing the writing, fact-checking, and so forth.
Then I’ll be back with posts about that story; about the topics I mentioned when exiting stage right around Christmas, including one idea about how to start the process of reversing global warming; and reflections from the Multimedia Reporting and Convergence Workshop next week at the University of California at Berkeley, sponsored by the Knight Digital Media Center and the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. I was selected in a highly competitive process and look forward to the 12-hour days there because I’ll learn a lot about multimedia methods to present our in-depth journalism.
Until then…

Congrats, Robert – both on the site and on the KDMC workshop. (I hope Lanita and Jerry didn’t beat you up TOO badly. They run a terrific program.)
Let’s talk soon – both to catch up, and to fill you in on http://growthspur.com.
