With the new year around the corner, I feel compelled to start something that's I've been wanting to do for some time — create an online repository where I can unload my thoughts on the future of journalism, and globalization and journalism, and young adults and news ... and other areas of research interest. In time, I hope this will be less of a digital dumping ground than a collaboration point where I can engage feedback from like-minded scholars and journalists.
In this sense, I hope to follow in the long shadow of two favorite scholars of mine, Mark Deuze* and Jay Rosen, although I never expect to be as academically prolific as Deuze or as professionally influential as Rosen. Nonetheless, I appreciate their examples.
So, I give you LewisBlog.
And Merry Christmas.
*My blog name is even loosely based on "Deuzeblog."

Good to have you online Seth! Happy New Year, looking forward to your posts.
I keep waiting for your first post here.
Well, it took long enough, didn't it? Yes, there are excuses, of course — none of them very good — but now that I'm back in school and overcoming a very prolonged bout with the flu, I'll be rapid-posting some stuff today that I've had sitting in the can. ... Thanks for prodding me!
Awesome. Adding your site to my reader now. Looking forward to what you write.
