Journalism Postcard

Why am I writing about this? Well, first because two people whom I had the privilege to meet and get to know through my work, Douglas Arellanes and Jakub Gornicki are part of this interesting project and these are my two cents in spreading the word :) And second, I couldn't not share this new kid on the block.

Their two main products- Airtime and Newscoop- open new and old doors for journalists and all those who say journalism is out as its their way to say that journalism is in fact back, that its pretty cool and innovative even. 

So prepare yourself some coffee, get over here and start reading this contribution to journalist world and hope you enjoy it!

'Chance favors the innovative mind"

And that is how innovation happens says Steven Johnson, the author of the book "Where good ideas come from: the natural history of innovation" (you can read more about the book in this The New York Times article).

I would like to share Johnson's TED speech, which is simply just another successful insight this time into the world of creativity and innovation, on when and how ideas are born and how they get carried away and lead to even more new beginnings.
