Reporting From the Edge of Retirement
David Hendricks is planning on retiring…sometime in the near future. The 58-year-old business reporter and columnist has spent 35 years working for the San Antonio Express-News, writing on countless financial subjects. Consequently, reporting on the topic of retirement hits very close to home for Hendricks, especially since he still has a 17-year-old daughter he needs to put through college. With a sharp eye for the specific financial situations arising from the recession and the silver tsunami of the baby boomers retiring, Hendricks has used his business column as an outlet to highlight problems overlooked by major news organizations.
Bringing A World of Knowledge to Retirement Reporting
As an international correspondent for National Public Radio, Jennifer Ludden reported from Central America, the Middle East, West Africa and Europe, covering a wide range of issues such as immigration, the Oslo peace process and the Kosovo War. She returned to the United States after 9/11 to start a family, and started reporting on family issues a couple years ago. This month, she’ll be contributing to NPR’s special series on Life in Retirement.
