I feature a different story every day. Check back often.
My stories aren't a repository for homespun bromides or tugs at the heartstrings. Those shopworn platitudes infesting journalism are part of the problem. The only time we do stories on seemingly ordinary people are when their kids are down a well or a flood has taken away their backyard. Then we usually stop at the cliché: 'Well, the tornado sounded like a freight train.' Everybody in the world can do a journalist's job today because a lot of what we see in the media looks like a paint by numbers painting. That's a big reason way our audience has a short attention. We're predictable.
