About the Author

Hello! My name is Jerriann and like that giant heading at the top says, I love journalism. I believe that good journalism has the power to inform people and, at its best, help them understand the other 7 billion individuals on the planet.

I love other things, too, like traveling, reading and eating delicious food.

I am a writer, blogger and journalist. Outside of that, I'm just a high energy gal with a positive presence and an endless supply of enthusiasm for all things creative.

Postipedia: The National Post’s Steve Murray fills in for Wikipedia
With Wikipedia out of action, the National Post‘s Steve Murray is picking up the slack for the ubiquitous online encyclopedia.

Send your questions to @NPsteve on Twitter with the hashtag #Postipedia or check back on this web page starting 10 a.m. Wednesday when he’ll be answering questions live. You can sign in using your login for Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Gmail or MSN; use an anonymous login or email questions to 37096@scribblelive.com. For more on the whats and whys of the Wikipedia blackout, read on below.

I feel bad for news organizations. How is this going to get anyone to click through to your site? Also, why can’t people google their own questions and look the shit up? Come on. My editor proposed this idea to me and I told them that while it would engage readers it would be a waste of my time.
