Journos: Barf, Tell Your Story, and Win an iPad
Good things come to those journalists who get food poisoning and are willing to blog about it.
Yesterday we informed you that WaPo Express News Editor Clinton Yates got sick on potato salad this week. It turns out he also vomits whenever he eats melon. That’s an allergy. Add Mediaite‘s Editor-at-Large Rachel Sklar to the yakking club this week. Her ordeal was a toss between olives and a Chipotle burrito.
