How to survive: Don't bore readers

Over the years I’ve had numerous titles in this business. Generally, they’ve had something to do with being a reporter or an editor.
Now that I’ve turned the corner on 60, I look at my role differently. With 40 years or so experience, I’ve come to look at the job differently – much differently.
Today I think of myself more as a consumer of news. I’m looking for stories that draw a positive reaction – interesting, well written, compelling, challenging, quirky, novel.
