I’ve penned about six stories for the Globe in the past week regarding the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and another dozen or so reporters have been working on different angles since the 7.0 quake struck on Jan. 12.
But the real news is coming from Maria Sacchetti and now Stephen Smith, who are both in Haiti [...]
It may not mean much to some, but the word “staff” is something young journalists seldom take for granted.
