Dennis: In Praise Of Wayne Hoffman

Many years ago I was introduced to a young journalist from Twin Falls -- Mr. Wayne Hoffman (pictured). He was a bright and vibrant guy with a terrific "story" of having just left Arkansas - where he covered a local-yokel politician named Gov. Bill Clinton...the then-newly elected President. Wayne and I hit it off from the start. I was making news and he was reporting it. Then Wayne was hired by the Press Tribune in Nampa to report for them. He did an outstanding job, grabbing headlines and beating many experienced journalist to the punch on quite a few statewide and national stories. Next his journey took him to The Idaho Statesman, where he covered news at the Capitol/Dennis Mansfield. More here.

Question: Which reporter in the Inland Northwest would you most trust to write a story involving sensitive information about yourself or your family?
