Hello World!
WHO IS P.A. HUMPHREY?
I'm a print reporter/editor/pageinator/photographer, with a penchant for investigative reporting. A former staff writer for various publications in North Texas, I'm currently freelancing. I also teach classes, upon request, on unleashing creativity and non-fiction writing.
I’m a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, with a BA in political science.WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH THIS BLOG: I believe journalism is a great occupation that is in danger of disappearing, and I intend to go down fighting. My interests center on stories and how telling them will evolve in this changing environment.
I’m also a long-time political junkie, so sometimes I’m sure the wild world of politics will show up in this blog. (But please note, although my comments on this blog may reflect my own opinions, I promise they will be based on facts.)I am available for freelance writing, teaching and speaking engagements. Contact me at pam@pahumphrey.com.
For more information, see the About Me page, check out my resume or look me up on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Hey Pam,
Just read the About me. Now, I want to go back and reread the stories about Larry Ashbrook. I also plan to read, “Cleburne, the next Plano.”
Hope things go well here.
