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.
I just noticed an embarrassing mistake on this blog — I had "Romanesko" in my list of links. I've repaired the spelling of the name of the writer of that popular part of the Poynter site.
I regret the error. For my other blunders, read here.
