Bio
Michael Hallisey
Kassie's reporting style is concise; straight and to the point. While in our newsroom, she was always asked to "write to the story." Word counts were not as important as sharing the story with our readers. If the story called for 300 words, she wrote 300 words. If it was a feature that demanded more, she wrote more. And, if I had to provide constructive criticism, she received the advice as a professional and applied it to future use. She's a strong writer who has a good grasp on the needs of a community newspaper.
