A Look Back at Assignment Zero
It’s been a LONG time since Assignment Zero. It’s often referred to as a successful failure. I still disagree for various reasons. We had all kinds of obstacles - but the end product I think speaks for itself.
Still - when the radio host at A World of Possibilities asked questions about it, old memories began to resurface. One day I would love to do a more thorough brain-dump about Assignment Zero because it was such a huge lesson for me (and I hope the larger journalism industry).
