It’s been a couple of years since I’ve written a news story, but a piece I worked on for the The New York Times published today (my first byline in the Times!).
It’s a story I pitched about an e-sports tournament down in Newnan, Ga. that took place a little over a week ago. Normally, this would unlikely be a news story. But in the reality that coronavirus has dealt us, with nearly all sporting events postponed or cancelled, any sliver of competition offers solace.
The full impact of coronavirus has yet to be felt, but the financial damage to the airline industry has been staggering.

You can read the full story here.

Yesterday’s election was a long and emotionally charged day for many, including myself, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the Election Day coverage team for The New York Times. It started in the wee hours of the morning, capturing the scene at voting polls around Atlanta, and ended documenting the reactions to the news that Donald J. Trump will be the next President of the United States. Above, several women dance to The Charlie Daniels Band’s “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” [Read more…] about Election Day Coverage for The New York Times
