i am an experienced journalist who has worked in this field for almost 30 years. i was trained in albany, western australia, for the albany advertiser at a time when they were still instructing new reporters how to write in shorthand. many things have changed in our industry since then, but the stories remain. i have written about almost everything over the years and still very much enjoy the job and the privilege it gives me meeting people from every walk of life.
