Q: You spent 14 years at the Chicago Tribune and three and a half years at the Chicago Sun-Times as an editor/writer. Do you miss those days when print dominated? Or do you see advantages to digital news dissemination?
A: Digital brings a speed and urgency that didn’t exist during the old print days. Seeing my own industry change is what it means to be in this business. A big part of journalists’ work is to document our constantly changing world and how change impacts our lives. I like that more people now are able to participate in sharing information. I don’t like when people are irresponsible or purposely sharing misinformation. Journalism is a sacred public service that shouldn’t be misused.
