You see it in Northampton, where PVTA buses at the Academy of Music pile on students, workers, and older adults across the river or up Routes 5&10.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was the editor of a tiny weekly newspaper in Northampton Mass in 1978 called 'Fresh Ink.'

Have you ever used a typewriter?

yes I used to use an IBM Selectric at one of my early jobs as an editor in Portland Maine.

How is social media changing news?

Craig's list killed the classified ad but honestly they do a better job. Too many top ten lists in my view.
