Laurie Hertzel, author of News to Me: Adventures of an Accidental Journalist (Univ. of Minnesota Press) visits Midmorning on Minnesota Public Radio and WILL-FM (Illinois public radio). Hertzel’s book tells of how she applied for a job at the Duluth, Minn., News Tribune, answering phones, writing obituaries, and making coffee for the newsroom staff—and wound up getting more and more responsibilities, until she found herself reporting the news during a time of extraordinary change, as a small city struggled to redefine itself after losing its manufacturing base, and its newspaper strived to adapt to declining readership.
