BOSTON — When you have a background in engineering, starting a food blog wouldn't be the first thought that comes to mind as a potential career. Yet that is exactly what Boston-based Brittany DiCapua is on her way towards accomplishing with her fast-growing Boston Food Journal, an online forum that focuses on the dining scene here in the Hub.
When she graduated in 2014 with a degree in biomedical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, DiCapua, 24, saw a lot of her friends entering the research sector. But she told New Boston Post she couldn't see herself in that arena, joking: "I don't really like labs. It's a lot of white walls and hanging out with cells."
STATE HOUSE – Helen Woodman Harrington, who epitomized the values of even-handedness and integrity the State House News Service still strives to uphold, died Monday at her beloved home in North Conway, N.H. She was 74.
Woodman hired, trained and more importantly inspired more than a generation of reporters, who carried her lessons as they traveled far and wide in the business and beyond. The many reporters who were fortunate enough to work with her in Boston over the years formed an extended journalism family and complemented the love of her life, her late husband Bill Harrington, himself an accomplished reporter for WCVB-TV.
