I've served as a writing coach and media commentator, with recent stints teaching
college courses in media ethics and writing for media, along with ongoing freelance writing assignments.
I am available to work with you or your staff on ways to punch up and improve writing
even the most mundane and basic news and information.
I also offer tips
and guidance in reporting: the best ways to interview the most reluctant subjects, tracking down sources and quotes, and
researching any and all relevant information and scoops for your stories.
Even if you think you learned it all in journalism school, I'll show you techniques -- all ethical and legal --
to find information and news, as well as come up with ideas on days when the breaking news just isn't breaking.
From public information requests for government documents to localizing national issues
and finding the other story most reporters ignore you and your staff will be better prepared to tackle any beat and all news
angles.
