Veteran Reporter, Anne Downey
Anne Downey has covered the police beat for The Freeport News for 12
years. She's covered everything from five-alarm fires to murders. She's
an award-winning reporter who's not afraid to dig beneath the surface
to search for angles that go beyond the sparse police reports. She assumes
nothing. She pays attention to detail. She asks tough questions and spends
hours examining documents that might contain a key fact about a building's
past fire code violations. She usually finds the right source for verifying
her information. She writes fast and clean copy. Her writing features
strong verbs, tight construction and gripping leads.

scanner and interviewing sources. You should print the documents out.
