Inspiring Writer : Dan Froomkin

Yo... every one writes and every one wants to be heard.. and ofcourse they always make sense -atleast to themselves -- and they convey the feel of the reading populace-- apparently-- perfectly.

Some like few writers cause they write what the readers like to read, some writers know the color of glasses their audience wear and tone to that taste. In today's world of "me" and "my" and "I" many dont even consider what the opposing view is.

But once in a while we get to see some real gem writers who are sincere and honest, one such guy who writes some super cool stuff is Dan Froomkin. Dan is a contributing columnist for the Harvard University puppet Niemanwatchdog. Dan also contributes to one of the most interesting columns i read everyday on WashingtonPost, the White House Briefings, a very interesting and informative column that gives you a take on everyday happenings.

Writers like Dan are pearls and rare ones too. In this world of writing "bumper sticker" headlines and empty columns, Dan stands apart!!
