Reporter
The Wichita Eagle
(Public Company; Newspapers industry)
July 2005 — Present (4 years 1 month)
Started as a night cops reporter. Two months later, I became The Eagle's city hall reporter. Three months after that, I covered the state legislature. Then I shifted back to city hall, with sub-beats of computer-assisted reporting, immigration and state politics.
