From the newsroom

While working on my master's degree in investigative journalism, I was pulled between visual journalism, data journalism and text journalism. 

Ultimately, I fine-tuned and developed skills in all three. My daily work, however, doesn't put a camera in my hands too often.

So, covering Ski to Sea as a photographer is becoming an annual treat. The rush of editing and uploading photos from the field during lulls in the action is unlike the usual, methodical work I do. It's good to mix it up. 

Our coverage as a team, however, is about more than exceptional event reporting. It's all of us dialing in our system in case things go catastrophically wrong in the community. These are the skills we hope we'll never have to put into action when lives are at stake, but certainly ones we know will help keep the public safe if they are.
