As a child, Jackie Spinner always wanted to be the first of
her siblings to tell her mother what they’d seen.

Illinois University to the Washington Post and Iraq. Now she’s a media reporter
with the Columbia Journalism Review and a professor at Columbia College
Chicago. Jackie's a great reporter and we had a good chat, so check it out!
