About
Unofficial Bio:
Ju-Don Marshall Roberts is managing editor of washingtonpost.com, which is where I cut my teeth on online journalism. This year, I’ve also had the pleasure (and pain) of running the Online News Association Conference. No, seriously, it’s rewarding work. In 2003, I was selected to be a Nieman Fellow, and once a Nieman, always a Nieman.
So those are my professional qualifications, or lack thereof. More importantly, I’m a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend and a life coach to those foolish enough to take my advice.
And although I work for The Post, the thoughts I share here are mind and mind alone.
In other words:
