Journalist

[Leah Pezzetti @leahpezzetti]

And last but certainly not least, the legendary @JohnSharify is here to share how writing rhythmically resonates. His motto and the name of his presentation: not one extra word.

When writing stories, every word counts. We’re so thankful to have John here with us at #NPPABOP2023

It’s always a good day when I’m with these video journalism legends and friends. The @NPPA News Video Workshop brings us together to help inspire the next generation.

@columbiajourn Reliving that moment! One of the greatest moments in my career captured in this video.

@KING5Seattle @JohnSharify This local news documentary about death with dignity followed Bob Fuller, a terminal cancer patient, who decided to legally end his life.

[Columbia Journalism School @columbiajourn]

@KING5Seattle @JohnSharify Over the course of the documentary viewers get to know Bob’s humor and understand his choice. Describing the intimate process of reporting “Bob’s Choice,” @JohnSharify said, “We laughed more than we cried, and we cried a lot.”

[John Sharify @JohnSharify]

@columbiajourn @KING5Seattle Some of my reflections about Bob’s Choice.

@KWardTV @Jr_Maddock @globalnewsto @FarahNasser @ACarterglobal Should also note this was inspired by a great report from @JohnSharify that both Kat and I saw at @Poynter

This means the world to me. NPPA has honored me with the Clifton Edom award for my years of mentoring journalists. Thank you!!

"Saying 'fled on foot' is as bad as swearing on TV" is something I said to a reporter today. Maybe the best writing advice I've ever given. @WriteLikeUTalk

[Jessie Cohen @jessiecohennews]

I’ve been sitting in awe for the last hour and a half listening to @JohnSharify and @JHuertaK5 talk about the story of a lifetime; Bobs Choice.

They are our keynote speakers for the 2021 KNPA and boy...what a way to end an INCREDIBLE weekend.
