The Spokesman-Review

Your Voice articles, features interesting

The Thursday Your Voice section is really a delight to read.

The new format featuring local correspondents and their interesting articles is excellent.

Cindy Hval does a great job with human-interest stories. I recognize some friends and acquaintances in her fine columns.

I enjoyed Juan Juan Moses’ article about Tom and Sue Millersmith opening their Hair Etc. beauty shop to competitors so they could continue their business (after a fire). That was typical of Tom and Sue. And to contradict Sue – no, not anyone would have done it.

I’m honored to call the Millersmiths friends. I have pictures of my grandson getting his first haircut from Tom.

Lisa Leinberger does a great job of proclaiming community news and announcing events in her “In Brief” column.

As always, Ruth McHaney Danner’s articles are interesting, and I enjoyed her article in the May 3 Your Voice on Pastor Terry Little.

Congratulations to editor Tad Brooks and the editorial staff for featuring local writers and neighborhood news in such a winsome way. It is a welcome addition.

Meet Our Journalists

Jesse Tinsley

Meet Jesse Tinsley. As a certified drone pilot, this veteran Spokesman-Review photographer often can be seen capturing beautiful aerial photographs of our region. Sometimes though, the job requires getting down with the dogs.
Jim Meehan

Jim Meehan is no stranger to Zag Nation. As the lead writer covering the Gonzaga men’s basketball team, he tells the stories behind the game and gets fans a bit closer to their favorite players.
Molly Quinn

There is no artist in Spokane like Molly Quinn. Her whimsical style is instantly recognizable to readers of The Spokesman-Review. She has painted gorgeous illustrations that instantly elevate the journalism accompanying it. She brings to life the stories that defy photography. She makes our pages better.
Rob Curley

Spokesman-Review editor Rob Curley loves to talk with people and learn about their lives, whether it's a best-selling author or a stranger he meets downtown on his walk to lunch. It's that inquisitive nature combined with a playful sense of storytelling that helps make our newspaper different than most.
