National correspondent covering the Midwest and rural America for The Washington Post. Former India Bureau Chief, 2013-2018.
Kansas, USA
Joined June 2010
I cover rural America for @washingtonpost and live in Kansas. Endorse this whole heartedly.
1. More reporters should consider covering rural areas and more newsrooms should see the value in rural beats. Would benefit journalism + the public. 2. Feels weird that “reporters” can refer to both people who cover small city council meetings and people who have talent agents.

@theprofsrecord @JTanfani @Journotopia As I said, the answer is no. When I was a foreign correspondent we could not even speak at state dept events for fear of conflict.

@theprofsrecord Not a “lie” to say you make money from those events. You ask for donations at the end, I saw it myself. Ostensibly for you travel expenses, but there is no way of knowing how much comes in or what it is used for.
