TV Journalists do this a lot, I guess. They, of course, are closer to being "celebrities" than I am. But my bosses have been encouraging us to find different ways of promoting the newspaper online, and I read about it, so I thought I would give it a shot. We'll see if it takes off. I think at this point there is only one of my "fans" that isn't also a personal friend.

This is a neat idea. What made you want to do a page about your job?

Facebook/MySpace drama

I keep hearing from industry professionals that there’s a lot of “bullying” that goes on between students — especially girls — on sites like facebook and MySpace. I would be interested to hear from people if this is true.

FYI

I’ve been off the job for the last two weeks because of a fairly serious medical issue, but I’m back at work today full time. If you want all the gory details, feel free to give me a call

Working the election

An exciting but feverish atmosphere in the newsroom tonight.We were all settling in to write our stories on the primary election results when there was a major crash at the corner of 120th Ave. and Fillmore St. So that threw a wrench into all of our plans.

A great resource

I was poking around on the Internet the other night and came across this tool that the Mackinac Center For Public Policy has put together. It allows you to compare the budgets of any two given school districts.

Personal Information:	My name is Stephen Kloosterman, and yes, that is a good Dutch name, thanks for noticing. I’m not from Holland (I grew up in Kalamazoo) although I do have some family in the area. I report about education, among other things, for the Holland Sentinel. To the greatest extent possible, I try to cover all the schools in the area. We have six public school districts, a Christian school system, and several other private schools and charter schools. Random facts about me: I average a haircut every two months. I enjoy hunting and reading boring nonfiction books. I was once shot by a Taser for a story I was doing. It hurt. I am six and a half feet tall and wear a size 14 shoe. I can kick myself in the forehead while standing. I am the oldest of six kids.
