Clark is a geezer...

...but not according to me. That came straight from the mouth of Kurt Hochenauer, an English professor here at UCO and an award winning blogger.

Hochenauer was a journalist for multiple publication for quite a few years but got out of it because he felt it was a shallow profession. He worked at the Kansas City Star and the Oklahoman and then decided he needed to blog because the Oklahoman veered too much to the right side of thinking.

In 2004, Okie Funk was born on the interwebs under the idea of making it liberal progressive framing.

When asked if he thought blogs would be around forever he replied that he doesn't ever see them not being used by newspapers and people in school need to learn different tips and tricks with technology so they can stay ahead of the game.

Hochenauer has been threatened because of his blog and the views within not being in accordance with those reading it, but he has still been writing on the same subject for the last six years.He said that keeping a blog has forced him to write on a consistent basis and even led to him to writing for the Gazette.

Even though Hochenauer is no longer working for a newspaper he still considers himself to be a journalist with the writing for the Gazette and blogging.
