"My name is Andrea Eger. I have been a reporter at the Tulsa World since December 1999. It didn’t take long for me to realize Tulsa was the answer to this Air Force brat’s childhood dream of a place I could finally call home. And journalism isn’t just my profession, it’s my way of contributing to my community. Besides growing up immersed in military service life, I witnessed how teachers, ranchers, firefighters, police officers, pastors, volunteers, and civic-minded small business owners all created the strong sense of community that existed in the small Northern California town where we were stationed longest when I was a kid. I wanted what they had and I’m here to earn it. I’m proud to work at a community newspaper that believes in highlighting what works and what’s possible, as well as examining the underbelly of public institutions to expose mismanagement, abuse, corruption, and injustice."
