A Field Guide to Laptop Bags for Journalists @ Funchico.com

My friend Kate at Funchico.com just did some research for the editor of Business Aviation on what the perfect laptop bags are for journalists. Kate found several species of journalist exist… each with their own unique needs. Kate gave each species the perfect name

Journalist Maximus – the “I carry everything with me at all times” journalist.

Journalist Simplicus – the JS doesn’t want to carry a lot of gear (or if they do, it’s small gear – netbook, point and shoot camera, iphone) and needs to move quickly.

Journalist Retroicus – often seen sporting a fedora, this journalist eschews any and all equipment besides their trusty notepad.

Journalist Impatiens Paranoicus – generally a traveler – roaming to far-flung, exotic locales to ply their trade.

And my favorite!

Journalist Fashionista – She (fieldnote: typically, though not exclusively, this species is female) wants it all. Capacity for all her gear, comfort in the carrying and style in the look. She wants to fit in on the pages of Vogue yet write for Newsweek.

Head over to Funchico.com and read the full article and field guide to laptop bags for journalist. The full article includes dozens of different bags, showing which ones are the best for each species of journalist. The new Rainebrooke Black Candy laptop bag, is one of the bags listed for the Journalist Fashionista.
