I’ve been reporting the news off- and-on for the last two decades now. One of my first big stories was about Professor Sami al-Arian in the City University of New York’s graduate newspaper The Advocate in 2003. I’ve covered stories that made national news like the Kai the Hitchhiker case and I’ve covered tiny stories that no one would have heard about, like the high school honor student “busted” with legal CBD products he was recommended by a doctor.
