ReplyDeleteMark Briggs is the man who coined the term Journalism 2.0 is described as a "recovering sports writer." Im confused. What does this mean? What is ii that he is recovering from? Is there some illness associated with sports writing? Is it contagious? Seriously it's in the pdf. <a href=">http://www.j-lab.org/Journalism_20.pdf</a>
