There is an elephant in the automated vehicle room, although most reporters pretend there is none.
I'm an analyst not a reporter, so my learning curve about the journalistic profession has been steep. I find writing great fun – which is why I have been doing so much of it recently – but the experience of hitting "send" on a finished article turns out to be both exhilarating and oddly terrifying. Author and researcher Brené Brown calls this a vulnerability hangover.
But that is "send" not "publish" and in my case each piece goes off to a great person I have come to regard as my editor: Junko Yoshida. Writing and editorial judgement are two vastly different skills, so I just focus on the former and leave Junko to have the final (entire) say on the latter. This arrangement is working out really well for me so far.
