For those following my main log - Cole’s Notes - you may have noticed that I am exploring other communication methods. This Substack is one of them - I’ve always been a photojournalist behind the camera - but watching some of the journalism I’ve seen lately, it looks like the video substack is a new and interesting way to connect with folks.
So this is an experiment—please feel free to contact me through X, Facebook, or subscribe. I’m considering this to broaden my media presence and perhaps make it a going concern. This blog and Substack are a hobby, but I’m considering doing this full-time. It’s a free publication, but with a paid subscription, it could become a full-time gig, letting me pursue the Journalism bug.1
As I say on my Facebook Page:
“Journalism is not so much a profession as a compulsion.”
-30- 2
Just to be open about it, I use Grammarly Ai as an editor for my postings to improve my writing.
What is this -30-? In the last century - when I was learning to be a newspaper reporter/photographer, etc. -30- was the accepted end of an article. I still use it to this day.
