ABOUT ME
I am a tech-savvy, multi-platform journalist, with 35 years of experience reporting in virtually every format: radio, TV, print, web. I am an early adapter of technology, with a good sense humor, who works easily with others, and who enjoys the respect of colleagues and newsmakers alike. I am somewhat of a contrarian, in that I seek facts that challenge the conventional, often superficial, understanding of issues and events. Read my bio: http://jamiejmcintyre.wordpress.com/about/
