Bio
Joe Sack
Chris really puts in the time and effort to investigate and report the local news fairly. At a time when other local newspapers are really just advertising sections for real estate brokers, and printing biased accounts of the news, Chris makes sure that the news is covered properly.
Chris Eberhart
I wouldn't be the journalist I am today without Chris. He took me under his wing and showed me how to act as a reporter, taught me tricks of the trade and instilled in me the importance of making contacts. He has so much knowledge that he's willing to share with anyone who's serious about the profession. No one works harder than Chris, and as a reporter working for him, I always wanted to match his work ethic. And he sees you as a person. If I am struggling with something on the job or in life that's impacting my work, he's someone I can talk to and come up with a solution.
