Why did you become a journalist?

Because people still want to understand the way the world works and cut through mis- and disinformation. Because we can explain complicated things, and cut through malarkey. Because have the power to tell stories about all kinds of people, from the wealthy and powerful to the poor and compelling. And to boot, we don't have to get multiple levels of sign-off from bosses for what we do: I can wake up in the morning with an idea, and file a column or story on it by the afternoon.
