The Digital Journalist
UPDATE

Welcome to a new column, "UPDATE," that features follow-ups to earlier stories from throughout The Digital Journalist. The updates derive from new information and readers' questions. It will appear periodically.

This month, Paula Lerner continues her journey with breast cancer marches, first noted by Peter Howe in our Jan. 2005 issue. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and the release date for her book, Why We Walk: The Inspirational Journey Toward a Cure for Breast Cancer.

Horst Faas, our Editor for Europe and renowned photojournalist, suffered a permanent paralysis while in Hanoi this spring, as posted in The Digital Journalist in both June and July 2005. He has received many visitors and this story is the result of my trip to Germany.
