Covering energy, the environment, environmental health, and science
I am an adapter.
Regardless of the news-delivery platform, I've built my career on the strength of fact-based journalism, a term I wish could be considered redundant. I dig for data and documents. I look for examples and trends. I try to help my audience understand the world around them. Increasingly, I do this for people who consume their news on smart phones and tablets and I join in the social media discussion.
And I do it for the largest news organization in Kentucky and as member of the USA TODAY NETWORK environment team.
The (Louisville) Courier-Journal has had dedicated coverage of the environment at least dating to the 1950s, reflecting Kentucky's many environmental challenges and accomplishments. I am keeping that legacy alive in the age of digital-first media, covering a Kentucky energy transition that's moving away from coal and the political clashes that come with that, and a city that's using science and innovation to tackle problems such as air pollution and asthma, environmental justice, climate adaptation, and urban heat. I also keep a close eye on the government institutions and businesses that play such a big role in my community's quality of life.
