Staff writer reporting live from Philadelphia
Watershed Voice staff writer Maxwell Knauer writes how journalism brought him to Southwest Michigan, love now has him living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and his commitment to both will mean working remotely for Watershed Voice going forward. "The reality is that much of modern reporting already happens from wherever your laptop is. Interviews happen over the phone or Zoom, government meetings are — sometimes — streamed online, and public records are requested electronically. "When a story requires someone on the ground, Watershed Voice will still be there. We’re still based in Three Rivers. Founder and editor-in-chief, Alek Haak-Frost, and our office manager, Steph Hightree, remain there, and our board members are spread throughout southwest Michigan. We’ll continue showing up where it matters and telling the stories when they happen."
