Interesting to read how technological changes over the last 30 years have made the work of journalists a little easier.

January 2026 marks the 30th year that I’ve worked at Ha-Shilth-Sa Newspaper. I applied for the job in the summer of 1995, hoping that I would get the chance to work with the legendary Ha-Shilth-Sa Bob. Popular, friendly and easy-going Bob Soderlund had already been working for the paper more than 20 years when I was hired. Annie Watts, his assistant, helped me navigate policy and procedures at the NTC. My first day as a reporter for Ha-Shilth-Sa Newspaper was January 15, 1996. My kids were 13 and 14 at the time and I was in my early 30s.

Thinking about the games and realizing that I would fail at all of them 😁 : the forest run, archery, slingshot, hatchet throwing, log balancing and the feather swim.
