When I joined National Underwriter as a reporter 25 years ago today–Sept. 14, 1981–I banged out my copy on something called three-part crash stuffed into a Royal office manual typewriter, edited by hand. Things sure have changed–both at the magazine and in the insurance industry I've covered all these years.
Today I write and edit on a computer, processing my articles through a content management system integrating everything we publish–in print and online. Earlier this month, I launched this blog–NU's first–adding another cutting-edge function to my ever-expanding duties as brand manager.”
Our print publication also looks a lot different than when I came on board–going from a tabloid-sized newspaper to our current infographic-rich newsmagazine. Breaking news is no longer restricted by space or time, posted on our daily online news service as events occur.
