A great day's journey into night

Today has been another amazing one as we we're treated to the wisdom of more of the industry's best and brightest. Phil Kaplan, outgoing president of APSE and sports editor from The Knoxville News Sentinel, and Kenny Irby of the Poynter Institute, graced us with their presence and knowledge during the day. Michael Anastasi, current first VP and future president of APSE also returned today (after speaking to us Monday) and chimed in with insight. We received tips on a variety of subjects, including what to do during the job hunt process, what to do when stories don't develop as planned, and how to assess situations when our ethics are put to the test. The evening has already included at least one sports check, and now we're in the thick of covering Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The game began at 9 p.m., so I hope everyone is ready for a long night. Or maybe I should say a short night, since we begin again at 8 a.m. Wednesday.
