Business reporter
The Journal Gazette
(Privately Held; Newspapers industry)
August 2004 — September 2009 (5 years 2 months)
As a business reporter for Indiana’s second-largest newspaper, I covered agriculture, telecommunications, real estate and zoning issues. I wrote several daily news stories each week and still meet long-term project deadlines. I wroe a monthly column profiling regional farms to give readers insight into agriculture’s importance to the local economy. To better cover the local economy’s global effects, I took an international reporting course in Mumbai, India, and blogged and reported on the experience. I also servedas substitute business editor, supervising three other reporters, for this paper, which has a daily circulation of 70,000 and a Sunday circulation of 110,000.

(Newspapers industry)
September 2002 — August 2004 (2 years )
I was promoted to cover the fishing industry after seven months at this paper, which serves about 15,000 readers in the nation’s oldest seaport. I boiled down thousands of pages of stringent new fishing rules into understandable terms with economic, environmental and political contexts. Larger papers in the chain – the 35,000-circulation Salem Evening News and the 65,000-circulation Eagle Tribune – printed my articles.
