20th year in journalism: the 'letterpress' to 'mobile' era

I'm in my 20th year in journalism. As a professional journalist, I still need to learn something new to survive, even after 19 years. Analyzing myself, this is the fundamental reason I am still attracted to journalism.

Learning anything new is always a challenge that I relish. Thus, my journalism has had the most impact on who I am.

Consequently, I want to carry out two initiatives to mark this 20th year.

1. I'll draft a manuscript titled "The Sequences of Various Thoughts." I want to portray the tale of a local newspaper reporter's journey to become an international media journalist and the evolution of his diverse viewpoints.

2. I want to do "visual interviews" with some of the people who have taught me a lot or from whom I need to learn a lot as a journalist. They are mostly journalists. I'll also chat about mass communication with other pros.

I posted these ideas on my blog and personal Facebook timeline to inspire myself. But, my friends, if you have an opinion on these topics, please share it at sharifkhiam@gmail.com.

In both initiatives, I will try to document the period from the 'letterpress' to the 'mobile' era.'
