The benefit, for me, was taking a year to really focus on getting clips, and working with editors, and building my skills as a writer and reporter (and learning the rules of things like fact checking), but I don't think school is the only way to do that. I'd seek out internships, or opportunities for working at smaller local publications, where you can write a lot, and get a lot of feedback, and try as many things as possible. If you're thinking about J school, I'd even think about doing that ahead of time, to get a feel for things. (less)

Quotes by Heather Hansman  (?)

“I don't know if you can truly love a place until it's beaten you around a little and shown you all its sides.”
Heather Hansman, Downriver: Into the Future of Water in the West

“Studies have shown that people are happier when they don’t have as many choices. We don’t always want to be optimizing.”
Heather Hansman, Powder Days: Ski Bums, Ski Towns, and the Future of Chasing Snow – A Boston Globe Bestseller Memoir of Nature and Extreme Sport

“In 2018, the average US weekend window lift ticket price was $122.30. That’s thirty times greater than the $4.18 it was in 1965. Over the same half century, US disposable family income grew slightly less than threefold. That means the lift ticket price grew ten times faster than people’s ability to afford them.”
Heather Hansman, Powder Days: Ski Bums, Ski Towns, and the Future of Chasing Snow – A Boston Globe Bestseller Memoir of Nature and Extreme Sport
