Where do you get your news? Television? Newspaper? Internet? New technologies means consumers get information faster and from more sources than ever before. Anyone with a camcorder and a laptop can call him or herself a 'journalist' but consumers must learn to seek out reliable sources. I'm a news anchor, reporter, photojournalist, writer, editor, wife and mother who loves to tell stories. Maybe I am a 'backpack reporter' - then again, maybe I'm just a storyteller. Let me tell you about what makes a great story - the challenges of doing the work alone - and take you inside the lives of some extraordinary people like you've never seen them before.
