A Time of Magic

Reuters is one of those organisations whose name you know but for which that’s about all that you know about them.

In fact, they pull together reports from journalists all over the world and repackage them for publication in various newspapers, journals and TV stations. Therefore, it’s only natural that they should extend their reach into one of the most widespread information networks the world has ever seen. Yes, the world of blogging.

But surely blogging is just a bunch of amateurs writing a lot of nonsense? Well, whilst the word amateur might mean unprofessional in some senses today, in days gone by the sense of the word was very different: amateurs were people who had loads of time on their hands and produced by far the best work. OK, so we’re not there yet with blogging but in many circles bloggers are treated in much the same way as professional journalists.

Anyway, I’m dead chuffed that this very blog is one of those supplying articles for Reuters and hopefully it’ll encourage me to gradually improve the standard of articles.
