Background Info:
I was Portland Bureau Chief for this Seattle based regional news network for nearly four years. In some ways one of my best jobs because I learned so much about news and issues facing Oregon. The state is a treasure chest for stories about the environment, natural resources and sustainability. My desk was in the KGW Newschannel 8 newsroom and I worked closely with KGW staff daily.
The “other” CNN network that now calls itself HLN. I worked in the Atlanta newsroom for more than 20 years and it was an incredible experience. One of the great things about working at a place like CNN was all the opportunities available to you. Most of the time I was a newsroom supervisor and newscast producer. But I also produced special reports, newscast segments, wrote and edited copy for CNN.com, supervised or took part in several well known breaking news events, taught a series of workshops on Internet based reporting and worked with journalists from around the world through CNN’s International Professional Program.
This site is is really great. Will you be getting any new journalist/blogger in the near future?
