Welcome to my world

I was thrilled to see the launch of a new ArtsJournal weblog with a subject near to my heart. Flyover provides a space for four arts journalists working between the coasts and away from the major metropolitan areas of the U.S. (the folks in the ''flyover'' states) to express themselves, and explore the unique challenges of their work.
As most media outlets chop back at their cultural coverage, the folks in smaller markets are particularly feeling the pain. It's fantastic to have an oasis for such conversation. Thanks to ArtsJournal's Doug McLennan for creating that oasis, and thanks to the four journalists for sharing their time, insights, and ideas with the rest of us.
