The life of the modern journalist is mobile, as well as the modern media consumer…
Chris can do work on-the-go, creating content and writing pieces in real-time, no matter where he is. This gives an extra vitality to pieces that benefit from hearing the crunching of a skateboard on rough concrete, seeing the latest James Turrell piece and reacting in real-time, or being able to absorb the music amidst a bustling & distracting Kanye listening-experience. Being hands-on is how Chris extracts the most important parts of a story.
A mobile journalist empathizes better with the modern media-consumer, who absorbs most of their media and content via their mobile device. These are insights that Chris understands and capitalizes on.
