This is my official account where I'll post about my work and the work of my NPR colleagues and maybe some other news
Any aspiring journalists out there ? A lot of the news about the business is bleak. Times are tough; It's hard right now ..but anything worth doing is usually hard. just some thoughts I had when I co hosted #dupont2026 with the great Scott Pelley

I was honored to co host #dupoint2026 alongside the great @cbsnews.com correspondent Scott Pelley. Before the ceremony I was asked why does journalism still matter
