* Good news…
Ten months ago, I left full-time reporting.
The respite after 19 years covering Springfield made clear to me that my true professional passion remains with the Fourth Estate, which makes me proud to say today that I’m returning to full-time journalism with a job at Thomson Reuters.
I couldn’t be happier.
The newly created position in Chicago is a big reporting job that will focus on breaking news and analysis on Illinois and Chicago finance, government and politics.
Conditions are tough in Illinois newsrooms. There was no guarantee a terrific opportunity like this would arise, particularly at such a respected media organization with worldwide reach. But it did, and I’m thrilled.

Creating a new position for a real journalist doesn’t happen every day. Good for him.

Congratulations to David, a great reporter. He should be fine unless the Governor or his venture capitalist pals decided to buy Thomson Reuters.

His pension article in Crain’s was one of the best long-form research pieces I had ever read. He made every player look bad without even trying, and he got former Governors to admit they made mistakes.

Does this mean McKinney will be present the next time Rauner has a Chicago avail? That’ll be interesting.

If you’re suggesting that McKinney will act any less than the pro that he is, you’re wrong. It is good to have him back holding feets to fires.
