I’ve had a front-row seat to this changing world. Journalism is a tough profession, especially now. The industry has been run into the ground, reporters have been vilified by the public. But it’s worth it. What we do as journalists matters.

I was a minor celebrity for a few days after exposing Brian Williams’ tall tales. I walked the halls of the Pentagon and asked tough questions at press briefings. I saw the Department of Defense become the Department of War.

I’ve gotten to cover corruption in the Florida Keys and walked with U.S. troops in Iraq. I uncovered a murder plot in the Philippines that led to the arrest of the killer. I hounded John McCain on Capitol Hill.

I’m not sure where I’ll go from here. This is the first time in my career that I’ve been unemployed. My greatest hope is to continue doing journalism and working with reporters. I got my first full-time reporter job right after Sept. 11, 2001. I’ve been blessed to have worked ever since.
