I adore breaking news, excel at finding the sources to do so and spotting holes in what's presented -- hopefully improving the outcome.
It’s wonderful working with such a talented group excelling in so many areas, including video and graphics. No newcomers to SEO.
My hope is my public service aims, starting with my Reuters Holocaust restitution series, will appeal to you.
Researching, spotting a new angle -- and then writing as simply as possible to truly explain complex problems, from global warming to COVID-19, are some of my strong suits.
Curiosity always serves me well.
For Reuters, where I worked most of my career, I covered many financial markets; New York, NYC and states from Maine to Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas, reporting on all manner of policies, legislation and budgets.
Breaking news with New York City's budgets was one strength.
Covering 9/11 -- from the attack through the reconstruction -- later led me to report for Newsday about flawed safety gear provided often immigrant asbestos workers.
For Reuters TV, I interviewed a few dozen governors, treasurers, mayors and the like; wrote companion stories; gave live reports.
I've co-moderated Crain's Business Breakfast panels; spoken on journalism panels.
A Loyola Law School public service fellowship was wonderful.
Recently I was on "Crime Stories with Nancy Grace at 7 minutes, 29, 36, 39, 42, for example.

At Reuters, I regularly led competitors covering precious metals, debt, equities and energy -- a highlight was the UN-Iraq oil-for-food talks, a lengthy assignment.
My multi-year Holocaust series began when NYC axed a Swiss bank from a bond sale.
Two days later that was a front page New York Times story; that wasn't the first; I've had to match them too.
Local, national, such as the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, and global media often ran my stories outlining talks between advocates, governments, museums, rail roads, banks and insurers.
I also put Reuters first with the U.S. EPA's demand NYC cleanse its water with a new plant the city said cost too much.
That was a bit of a merry-go-round.
A recent Newsday story about stiffer rules for wastewater plants benefited from my in-depth experience reporting on this problem.
So did a story on the curtailed lives of the oysters planted in New York Harbor's restoration programs.
Previous stints: Securities Week, Physicians Financial News, the Research Institute of America, The Wall Street Transcript.
Thank you for considering me, Joan
Animal advocates agree all pets - local or not - deserve forever homes. But some say taking in pets from out of state or overseas can overburden municipal shelters and prevent less-desirable breeds, older animals and ones who are ailing or ill-trained from being adopted.
New varieties of long and lush false eyelashes offer Hollywood glamour - just in time for a post-holiday pick-me-up - yet ophthalmologists increasingly see problems with them. Lash extensions, often made from light synthetic or natural materials, are glued onto individual eyelashes - and can stay in place for four to six weeks.
U.S. military held Deutsche Bank responsible for murdering by starvation slave labourers, according to an excerpt of a repot obtained by Reuters U.S. bank. Deutsche Bank was as responsible as what was then its industrial affiliate, Mannesmann Roehrenwerke, Germany's foremost producer of steel tubes, for abusing workers, according to an excerpt of the report obtained by Reuters. Citing field reports from Mannesmann's own managers, the U.S. military said: "T
The era of cooking with gas-burning flames may be waning, as research shows emissions from these appliances increase the risks of childhood asthma and overheating the planet. One month after researchers said 12.7% of "current childhood asthma in the United States is attributable to gas stove use," Gov.
Suffolk County, with less than 10% of the state's farmland, poured around three times more insect-killing chemicals onto lawns, golf courses, crops and turf farms in 2021 than any one of upstate's four biggest farming counties, according to state officials.
Seventy years after the liberation of the Nazi death camps, some Jewish leaders say the world's largest Holocaust compensation agency is in urgent need of sweeping reforms -- from new leadership to a sharper focus on aiding a dwindling number of survivors.
Long Island's clement winter may have jump-started the arrival of native and foreign critters that fly, crawl or bite as insects from the South are finding the warmth in the North to their liking. "There is evidence that the ranges of some insects have shifted north with the warmer climate," Matthew Schlesinger, chief zoologist of the New York Natural Heritage Program, wrote by email.
The peak of the North Atlantic hurricane season has come and gone as temperatures cool, but at least one study shows conditions in the Caribbean "favor an active end" to the season, which ends Nov. 30.
Missing stories: museums I found with Nazi-looted art; ones with Paul Volcker, Stuart Eizenstat, et al; many on slave labor, including the Roma, lots more on insurers, government negotiations, etc. Please forgive a few duplications. Thank you.
Imagine what a dinosaur could do with a neck almost 50 feet long - eight times longer than a giraffe's. The latest estimate of the neck length of a late Jurassic period dinosaur found in China - a Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum - is nearly 20 feet longer than previous estimates for members of the sauropod family, according to Stony Brook University paleontologist Andrew J.
