Hong Kong

As the newspaper's chief rewriter, I edited long-form stories of explanatory journalism about mainland China and Hong Kong: stories about politics, development, environmental degradation, science, business. I worked with reporters to improve their stories. As one grateful award-winning reporter on the mainland told me: "I'm glad when my stories get sent to you. They read much smoother, but they still sound like I wrote them."Also assembled bits and briefs, edited and wrote columns, wrote headlines and cutlines -- the myriad things needed to put out a well-crafted daily newspaper.After a year in the main Hong Kong newsroom, I returned to the United States, where for several months I continued editing stories for the SCMP via the Internet.
