Will Clifford Journalism

Journalism constantly pushes me to learn— both about myself and the world around me. The beauty of it is that I'll never feel like my craft is complete— but that's OK. There's always something new to explore, a skill to refine or a perspective to understand.

Every writer searches for their own voice and adds a personal touch to their work, but for me, journalism is just as much about representing others' voices and bringing their stories to life in the most effective way. At its core, journalism is about people — detailing their struggles and triumphs. Nearly every story I pitch begins with a conversation, listening to others whose voices might otherwise go unheard.
