Come
join me in journalism. I’ve been here for
30 years, and each day is still a new experience.
Or several new experiences. I could be talking to
the powerful in the morning, and, hours later, be
doing a story which lights up a small patch of darkness.
I could be investigating a complex scam one week,
and joining a bunch of excited kids on a nature
walk the next.
I come home, knowing that, in ways small and dramatic,
I have made a difference, maybe not to the world,
but to people. I give |
a voice to triumph as much as to tragedy, to big
struggles and small acts of heroism. What I do helps,
whether I make people smile or move them to tears,
and hopefully action.
Each night I go to bed asking myself if I have really
done a day’s work or just done what I love
doing, and got paid for it. Enviable, no? Climb
aboard. |
