Why did you become a journalist?

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
Death of the Reverend's Sons: The Police Murder of the Johnson Brothers.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
In media, if you aren't determined to advocate for a victim, you will most likely exploit them. Support your sources accordingly.

Coffee.
