Favorite Reflections

When I accepted the reporter position at the newspaper I thought I would work there for the rest of my life. In addition to covering news local issues and events I wrote a weekly column Reporter's Reflections which allowed me to give comment and opinions on the news stories I had written. I was younger then and I thought my schooling had provided me the knowledge I needed to manage the job. My first year taught me otherwise. This collection of reflections from my first year will provide some entertainment but also a glimpse into what the life of a new reporter covering small-town life is like.
