    Notes:
    Online from publisher. 2 pages., Advice to young journalists. "As a professional, you have to be better than only an instagram post writer. You must consciously and intentionally develop your skills of conversation. Sit down with your granny and ask her about her life as a young girl. Find out what your papaw was really thinking and feeling as he stepped onto some faraway battlefield as a terrified kid. And when you interview that farmer or lineman or craftsperson for your Co-op's publication, find out why they do what they do, not just what they do."
