Shaun Mckinnon is a Writer and journalist at The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com at The Arizona Republic | azcentral.com | La Voz. Colleagues describe them as "For the past 12 years, Shaun McKinnon and I have worked together in a variety of jobs. We were assistant city editors together at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, then he returned to reporting and I had the absolute luxury of editing his excellent copy there. After Mr. McKinnon joined the Arizona Republic, I was fortunate enough to also get a job there, and we've continued our professional relationship, sometimes working together, sometimes in different departments, but always carrying a deep mutual respect. If you want a writer of the highest caliber, a journalist with the highest ethics and a meticulous researcher who is a stickler for accuracy, then you've found that person in Shaun McKinnon. If anything, my comments are not adequate to describe his talent and his dedication to his craft."
