The name of the city is often shortened to Salt Lake, or its initials, S.L.C. 801/237-2186 marjorie@desnews.com Career history: I joined the editorial board the spring of 1999 after about 6 years as a beat reporter in Utah and Colorado. Family news: My husband is a juvenile court juvenile court Special court handling problems of delinquent, neglected, or abused children.

Best thing about the job: A journalist doesn't fully understand the power of the press until he or she writes for the editorial page. I particularly relish the opportunity to lobby for reform, lift up people and programs that make a difference in people's lives, and call elected officials and other public officials on the carpet when they abuse their power. Worst thing about the job: The constant pressure to feed the goat when there's nothing meaningful or profound to say, and dealing with letter writers who accuse me of censorship when I edit their hopelessly long letters. First impressions of NCEW NCEW National Conference of Editorial Writers : NCEW appears to be a very professional organization that gives thoughtful consideration to issues that impact opinion writers and the industry on a whole. |
