Introducing HappyJournalist

AngryJournalist launched a couple weeks ago as an anonymous confessional for, well, angry journalists. It asks the question: Why are you angry today?

Not all journalists are angry, and in the spirit of celebrating these dark times, I give you HappyJournalist, which asks the question, Why are you happy (to be a journalist) today?

Enjoy.

   Thanks for this, Joe. Most people I know love journalism at least as much as they hate it. Few, however, are prone to spontaneous outbursts of positivity so it will be interesting to see what kind of response you get.

   Great site. Love the addition of the Happy Journalist and I would like to link to it from my site – freefromeditors.blogspot.com. I already have AngryJournalist.com linked so it would only be fair, right?
