Colleagues describe him as "Joe is one of the most talented journalists I've met — thorough and thoughtful, with an eye for interesting details and overlooked stories. I learned a great deal from him in our time working together, and I continue to learn from him as a friend and professional contemporary. His knowledge, experience and skills, both in writing and in copy and line editing, would make him an asset to any organization that values storytelling, accuracy and attention to the craft of journalism." and "I worked with Joe Watson at the Phoenix New Times when we were both employed there. He had a tough job because staff writers at that time had to come up with 10 cover stories per year, with a length of 8,000 to 10,000 words apiece. But Joe never had any lack of ideas. He's a talented reporter and writer. He knows how to hunt down a story and crank out the copy. No hand holding necessary. The guy's a pro. "
