Welcome! Below, you’ll learn a little more about me and my mission on Substack.
Meet Karen
I’m a lifelong journalist who has somehow snagged more than 20 journalism awards over the years, at the state and national levels.
I love listening to people,
putting myself in other people’s shoes,
asking thoughtful questions,
discovering previously-untold angles and stories,
giving a voice to the voiceless,
touching readers’ hearts, minds and actions
through compelling, moving stories
that are honest and real.
My mission on Substack
I love connecting with people through my writing. But the journalism industry continues to shift. Our consumer habits continue to shift. People often find social media, as well as the news, to be toxic.
My mission, In Other News, is to share uplifting stories of everyday heroes in our midst, directly with subscribers, straight from the source (that’s me)!
Why subscribe?
In Other News is an uplifting, stress-free, no-politics news outlet.
Paid subscribers receive weekly newsletters: Each issue will include a full-length feature story about someone making a positive impact in their community—an everyday hero—plus 3 fun quick hits: Luna Lens, Nature Nugget, Comfort Corner. You’ll be directly supporting a veteran journalist known for her compelling, award-winning features. (Although, truth be told, my awards are hidden away in a desk drawer.)
Free subscribers will receive one newsletter per month.
Either way, I’m grateful for your support that allows me to do this work!
