Christian Hetrick is a staff writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and he's had an extremely successful (if somewhat serpentine) journey as a professional journalist after graduating from Rowan in 2014. Here we discuss everything from his time spent covering the New Jersey state house to reporting on Atlantic City, Comcast, and the future of Philadelphia businesses post pandemic. Check out some of his work below:

—This scoop on the very real police investigation into the fictional character Gritty. It became a meme and was fodder for late night talk shows for a couple weeks

—Today he's covering the economic impact of the pandemic and the future of work in Philly, a year-long project on the problems and possible solutions to growing good-paying jobs in Philly, which has trailed other cities in several economic indicators

—Not long ago he was chasing down scammers as a consumer reporter and New Jersey lawmakers as a political reporter
