In Chambers
The judge will see you now. Step into Springfield Bureau Chief Aaron Chambers’ chambers for an insider’s view on Illinois politics and government. No, Chambers isn’t a real judge. At least not in the sense of wearing a robe, wielding a gavel and issuing orders. But like a good judge, Chambers tells it like it is.

Ex-Intern’s ‘Angry Journalist’ Site a Hit

Add comment March 3rd, 2008

The Register Star’s former Statehouse intern, Kiyoshi Martinez, may have moved on from journalism to public relations. But that hasn’t stopped him from making waves among the talking heads in his old field.

Kiyoshi started a Web site, angryjournalist.com, for reporters and others in the media to vent about their problems at work. Perhaps not surprisingly, given the stress of this industry, the site has attracted comment from droves, and droves, of journalists.

The site is now the subject of a column in Editor & Publisher, a leading magazine covering the news industry. Kudos to Kiyoshi.

And no, I’m not driving the conversation at angryjournalist.com. I happen to love my job.

Kiyoshi Martinez: Elephant Man

3 comments January 21st, 2008

Kiyoshi Martinez, who last spring was the Register Star’s Capitol intern, is jumping from journalism into the hotbed of politics.

Kiyoshi has accepted a job with the communications staff of the Senate Republicans. As such, he will help manage Web and press matters for Senate Republican lawmakers, perhaps even Sen. Dave Syverson of Rockford or Sen. Brad Burzynski of Clare.

Kiyoshi is an extremely bright young man — a master of words and the World Wide Web. I’m sure he will excel at this job just as he did when he diligently served this newspaper. The Senate Republicans scored with this catch.

I wish him well.
