Journalism can have a profound impact on both public policy and private decision-making. I want to enlarge the pool of smart, ethical people who practice it well.
• The First Amendment is worth fighting for.
• Watchdog journalism is more than a catchy phrase. It's our most important responsibility.
• Exposing wrongdoing and injustice is immensely satisfying. So is celebrating individual and community success.
• We need to work harder to reflect the diversity in our communities.
• You can never care too much about getting the story right.
