Long story short…

This is how conversations start. The conversation could be at the water cooler. It could be on Twitter.  But there is always a story behind it – a story worth sharing.

I am a reporter, writer and editor of those stories.

Writing for The Roanoke Times, The New York Post, Stry.us and the Collegiate Times, I have immersed myself in illuminating national news stories like the Virginia Tech massacre, explaining the issues that drive communities and telling incredible stories from the past of ordinary seeming neighbors.

Whether it’s on paper, online or on-the-fly, I strive to help people understand the world around them with stories – long or short.

I’m Zach Crizer, a journalist currently writing for The Roanoke Times.
