The work
My writing lives at the meeting point of people and policy. Some weeks that means a short blog written in a single sitting; other weeks it means an article that took a month of interviews, documents and second calls to get right.
I also speak at colleges, newsrooms and community events about how stories are reported and why local journalism still matters.
Every good story starts the same way — by staying long enough to hear the second half of someone's sentence.
What you'll find here
- Blogs — shorter, personal notes from the field and the desk.
- Articles — reported long reads with sources, context and detail.
