Ethan KlapperProducer and consumer of media

Some of you may already know me. Some of you may not.

Either way, welcome to my new blog — a blog that certainly is not my first (and won’t be my last, either).

I started my first blog during the fall of 2007 and shuttered it in March 2008. That was a personal blog of the same name as this one.

I then started another blog in May 2008 and stopped blogging on that one in July 2008. I focused on technology on that one.

In January of this year, I started Social Government, by far my most successful blog. It’s a blog about Government 2.0 (specifically, the use of social media in government) and it can be found at www.socialgovernment.com.

By day, I’m a journalism major at American University in Washington, D.C. By night, I peruse the Interwebs, create and maintain Web sites and write a lot.

I am the Web editor for The Eagle, AU’s student newspaper. We’re in the midst of a massive Web redesign project there.

I’ve also had stints as an intern at mediabistro.com and washingtonpost.com. This summer, I’ll be interning at The Journal News, a Gannett-owned daily in suburban New York.

I hope that you get to know me better through this blog. In turn, I hope I get to know you better, too.

If you’d like to see my more impulsive thoughts, please check out my Twitter and Tumblr. I’ll save this blog for longer-form stuff.

Thanks for coming along for my upteenth blogging journey. You won’t regret it.
