12 Dec Ten questions with Rosette Royale

Quill (the magazine for professional journalists) poses 10 questions to people with some of the coolest jobs in the industry. The current edition features an interview with Rosette Royale from Seattle.

Royale is the assistant editor for Seattle’s Real Change newspaper. He has been honored with SPJ’s Sigma Delta Chi Award for feature writing for his exhaustive 15,000-word investigative and narrative story titled “The Man Who Stood on the Bridge.” This three part series captured the attention of readers for nearly a month as the weekly paper, distributed by homeless and low-income vendors, told the story of a troubled young man on the brink of suicide.

Here’s the Quill interview with Royale who talks about the series and journalism.
