S2 Ep1542: TAMPA BAY TIMES Viewpoint Editor Graham Brink & Columnist John Hill

Lunchtime Conversation host and news director Nanette Wiser wrapped 2025 with erudite insights into the craft of the Tampa Bay Times Viewpoint section and opinion writing with Viewpoint Editor Graham Brink (right) & columnist John Hill (left). We talked about their journalism journeys and those who inspire them, the challenges and joys of creating the Viewpoint sections weekly, the art of balance on those pages during these turbulent, divided times  and the importance to journalism integrity of this section and The Times in general. We look back at the big stories of 2025 in Tampa Bay and Florida, the good and not-so-good as well as how great journalism and the Viewpoint section help shape decisions by informing and educating readers.#tampabaytimes #opinion #goodjournalism #letterstotheeditor #grahambrink #johnhill #balancedreporting #best2025stories #worst2025stories #nanettewiser #stpete #stpetefl  #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete  #dtsp #downtownstpete
