I happened to walk into my office last week when a co-worker told that I made the my college newspaper the UTD Mercury. I was very surprised so I went and picked up a copy of the newspaper and wouldn’t you know it, a copy of a blog post is displayed in their “Blog Bites” section. It’s a post I did on Latin cooking awhile back with an emphasis on my desire to cook traditional Puerto Rican cooking. The copies of the article is displayed below and highlighted in yellow. Normally, I am a strong believer of online media and the transition away from print to the internet, but in this case I can honestly say that there can be a balance of the traditional with the new. I manage to get a free promotion from the newspaper and hopefully some more followers to the my blog.
