22. For me the best thing about doing online
journalism has been learning to listen and
learn from readers. Sometimes it's difficult
to get blasted in comment strings, but I've
learned that if I can get past feeling
offended, the readers are often onto
something. Acknowledging their
contribution and making changes based
on it actually ends up earning their
respect, and building a connection with
them that endures.
