Athens, Texas

I cut my teeth as a fledgling reporter for my hometown daily back in the days before print media became overshadowed by the Internet. My daily duties included compiling the daily police reports, covering local topics for the press (school graduations, livestock shows, court proceedings, as well as writing feature articles for publication), photographing subjects for each article, developing and printing my own film, writing blurbs, and covering for other reporters while they were out sick/on vacation. It also taught me the importance of making the first pot of coffee in the office, and how to present myself as a professional representing the local media in the public arena. I also learned the painstaking process of laying out a daily before software did it for us (cutting and gluing columns by pica width, something I'm happy to forget about now!), and why it's critical to get sleep before putting the final run to bed at the printer's at 5 a.m. each day.
