Journalists have always been a different breed. From the start, we bypassed more money, normal hours and a daily routine. Instead we chose a different path.

Today, journalists come in more shapes and sizes and stand on platforms that can elevate our work. As exciting as it is to be a journalist today, there are also more challenges than ever before. Accuracy and ethics have always been at the forfront of debate and criticism. Then the 24 hour news cycle challenged the truth, or at least allowed deliberate non-truths to be reported without much of a discussion.

Now, the excitement of social media is forcing journalists to keep ione eye on a Twitter feed for news.
