Journalism: Features

Since 2013, I have been the autos editor at the Chicago Tribune. I've reported and reviewed over 700 stories of local and national significance, from the suprise shut down of vehicle emissions testing stations in the city of Chicago, to the rise of Tesla, the decline of the manual transmission and coverage of all the crossovers. Starting out running a microsite on fuel-efficient vehicles, my role grew into senior journalist, digital content editor, print source editor, multimedia editor, social media manager and more, with my byline appearing in over 100 publications, including the nine national newspapers owned by Tribune Publishing as well as content made available to hundreds of wire clients via Tribune News Service. 

Here is a sampling of those stories.
