When I joined National Underwriter as a reporter on Sept. 14, 1981, I banged out my copy on something called "three-part crash" stuffed into a Royal office manual typewriter, edited by hand. Things sure have changed--both at my publishing company and in the insurance industry I've covered all these years.
Today, I write and edit on a computer, processing my articles through a content management system integrating everything we publish--in print and online. This month, I launched NU's first blog, adding another cutting-edge function to my ever-expanding duties as "brand manager."
We also look a lot different than when I came on board--going from a tabloid-sized newspaper to our current infographic-rich newsmagazine. Breaking news is no longer restricted by space or time, posted on our Web site as events occur.
