Editor's note: Joann is an Oregon native, and a longtime journalist who was executive editor of The Herald in Everett, ombudsman at The Washington Post and editorial page editor at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. She was co-author of a procedure for making ethical decisions quickly in a newsroom and served nine years on the Pulitzer Prize Board. Her reason for being a Crosscutter is simple and sweet:
I support Crosscut for a selfish reason: It’s a safety net for my mind.
