A NEW JOURNALISM

Hello, and welcome to BenHenry.com!

In this day and age of unprecedented decline in newspapers and painful layoffs ever ubiquitous, newsrooms are being forced to do more with less. As a result, versatile journalists who can wear many hats have become more valuable than ever.

Over the years I have developed skills in a variety of areas:
» Page design
» Copy editing (headline/display-type writing, and proofreading for grammar, style and story cohesion)
» Wire editing
» Writing and reporting
» Online design and maintenance
» Multimedia (audio and video)
» National/international news, politics, features and sports

From top to bottom, today’s journalists must be quicker, smarter and more versatile, comfortable playing different roles at a high level. This kind of new, modern journalist is what I aspire to be.
