"What I was fortunate enough to get exposed to very early in my career, and I really believe is now the way to go, which is the nature of editing as thinking," says Poynter Institute president Neil Brown.

Neil has spent more than forty years as a reporter and editor, and he just wrapped up his tenure on the Pulitzer Prize Board. He's one of the more nimble minds in journalism and a champion of the editor/writer dynamic.

In this conversation, Neil riffs on

  • Editing as thinking
  • The late writing coach Don Murray
  • How the front end is everything
  • Respecting reader detection
  • And Interviewing as a skill, among lots more great stuff.
