It isn’t just about what is said, but how it’s said. I am particularly intrigued by places where technology, culture and society butt heads.
I currently work as a National News Editor. I am responsible for identifying and developing domestic news stories for all CNN platforms: digital, television, mobile, social.
My team drives the editorial, visual and social newsgathering and partners with all parts of CNN to create written and visual content.
