I was also starting as a journalist during the Great Recession but never ended up being able to break out of local journalism. (I left the industry three years ago.)
I do have to say, though, that reading your pieces at the beginning of my career helped me believe in myself. Seeing someone roughly my age doing such quality reporting for a high-class publication was very inspiring. You were without a doubt someone I looked up to. Thanks for all your hard work. :)
