I had an incredible time presenting, learning and brainstorming at the Investigative Reporters and Editors conference in Anaheim. The world needs journalists more now than ever and we are up for the task. I’m extremely grateful that my company sent me and my coworkers to this conference. (Shout out to my manager Ashley Talley who also presented and Keely Arthur for showing her work at a show-and-tell panel). I can’t wait to pass on what we learned to our colleagues.

WORK ANNIVERSARY: 🎉 Happy to celebrate FIVE YEARS with WRAL. Next Monday (June 24) marks NINE YEARS in the TV news business. 📺 Living out my prayers of reporting in my hometown TV market means maintaining an attitude of gratitude each day - including the tough moments. 📸: Michael Harper • • #workanniversary #tvnews #journalism #broadcast #raleigh #nc #dc #publicrelations #communications #comms

THIRTY (!) years ago today, I walked into WEEB-AM's studios in Fuquay-Varina, NC, and started my career as a broadcaster. The Durham Herald-Sun did a story in September 1994 about talk radio. They got a picture of me in action (and got *most* of my name right!). Many thanks to Steve Adams, owner of WEEB, for hiring an eager 15-year-old radio nerd back then. I'm indebted to SO MANY along the way who have helped me in this great industry! I'm grateful to start year 31 today here at WRAL -- living the dream!

-Grateful to work at a place like WRAL that has allowed me to expand my horizons as a journalist. -Grateful for colleagues like Cristin Severance & Dwayne Myers that helped to bring this vision to life -Grateful to be a regional Edward R. Murrow winner with a shot at nationals in October. GRATEFUL
