Kristen Hainkel

I'm a young journalist who is eager to learn. I acknowledge journalism's tradition but don't shy away from new ways of telling stories. Balancing accuracy, timeliness and clean copy with digital savvy and reader interaction is the key to journalism's future.

I'd also like to write a novel one day whenever the right idea comes to mind.

Whenever I'm not writing (which is most of the time), I like to read, listen to music, travel, watch TV and have interesting and thought provoking conversations.
