Universal Hub

Adam Gaffin, from Universal Hub, was kind enough to visit our Reinventing the News class on Wednesday, December 3. Adam Gaffin is kind of inspirational to me. He creates the content for Universal Hub daily, AND works full time at a technical trade publication, like I do. And, he seems to be fairly successful at what he does.

He started Universal Hub after he noticed that, despite an abundance of Boston area bloggers, there was no collective space for all the blogs to be heard. Universal Hub rounds up all the local blogs in one convenient place.

Adam urged the class to find their own niche in order to be successful. That niche could be an interest, a location, or anything really. He also told the class that he thought that today's journalists need to be wellrounded; able to do everything from writing, editing, taking photos, editing photos, marketing, and selling ads.
