It was the best week of my professional life. Here’s why.
For seven days, I was in the city that was the center of the sports and pop culture universe. It was easily the highlight of my journalism career.
What it's like covering the coronavirus
COVID-19. Coronavirus. Social distancing. Welcome to the new normal (for now). I and many others across the state of Arizona are transitioning to a new way of life. Living rooms are now offices, solitary walks around the neighborhood are daily workouts and Zoom meetings are a popular tool for social interaction.
The pandemic has taken hold of the globe's attention and the world watches and scrolls for updates on the fight against COVID-19.
And I am one of those who have the privilege to provide an essential service as a journalist to help keep my community informed during this tumultuous time.
