It's in my blood...
I grew up under the influence of a techie dad who worked in radio, read three newspapers a day and opined how different outlets played the story. I watched the Times and Tribune battle to be on top and marveled at how journos kept politios honest. I spent my afternoons working in the New Expression newsroom and summers as an NIU J-camper. UIC taught me to observe, question, listen and analyze. Medill taught me to turn observation into business, magazine and online journalism.
