The humanity behind the business

Earlier today, I posted an entry about Forbes' struggle to endure and how it has impacted employees. I then discovered a great example of a journalist finding humanity within a business story.
Simon Owens of Bloggasm kindly directed me to a piece about Steve McGookin, a Forbes journalist who took a severance package last year and is now attempting to hack it as a street performer in the New York subway system.
McGookin is using his time between journalism jobs not only to pursue other interests but to hone his reporting as well, blogging about his experiences at The Beat Below the Street.
Owens' article highlights the common struggle of journalists in an uncertain industry. Ownes and McGookin show that creativity and original journalism aren't confined to traditional media organizations and that opportunity is everywhere.
