My buddy Dave Lee has been suggesting setting up a blogging network (about journalism) for those under-30. Sounds like a good idea to me. His barriers to entry are:
a) Under 30-years-old. I know there will be a couple of disappointed people out there with this restriction, but without it I feel we lose the point a bit.
b) You blog (or plan to blog) about journalism in some shape or form. Bit of an obvious one, this, but I think it’s important that we’re all coming from the same place here. I’m not bothered what stage of you’re career you’re at, so long as that career’s journalism.
c) You promote the ring! If we all bring attention to this by shouting it from the rooftops, then there’s no reason why this can’t become the best point for young opinion on the media on the web.
Sounds good to me, I fit the criteria and dropped Dave an email – so I await more details with anticipation.

Yep,am one of the disappointed over 30’s-I feel a case for an age discrimination action coming on ,and I can’t sneak in because Dave knows how old I am after our twitter conversation a couple of weeks ago.

Could always set up a more mature blogging network/ring?
