Name: Andy Bechtel From: UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States About me: I teach editing and writing at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill. I'm interested in new ways to tell news stories and in the ethical and political ramifications of word choices (terrorist surveillance program, domestic spying or something in between?).
I have 12 years of experience in newspaper editing, most recently at The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C.
Metro reporter Sewell Chan has his name on 422 stories in The New York Times in the past 12 months. Quantity isn't everything, but that's impressive. Copy editors will like Chan's attention to detail, as described in this article.
