Hello World,

My name is Tyler.  I’m a 23 year old grad student at Ohio University, going for my masters degree in journalism.

I am starting this blog with a certain theme in mind….so what exactly does it mean to be textually active, you ask?  Well, for me it represents anyone who is involved in writing, whether it be newfangled online journalists, bloggers or even old-school authors and poets.  The format may have changed, but the spirit remains the same.  We’re all just trying to connect to an exciting and interesting community of like-minded people who have an itch to know what else is out there.

So think of this blog as a backscratcher….for whenever you have an itch for a good read.  Topics such as the varying ways news is delivered, soft news stories/features, and profiles of successful individuals with a variety of jobs in the industry will be here waiting for you.  I hope that this blog will manifest into a helpful service for me as well others who might be starting out in this textually active world.

-Tyler ;)
