Hello, my name is Manuel McDonnell Smith. Sr. Mgr., Editorial @yahoo. Formerly @cbsphilly + @nbcnews. Passion w/ @pabj @maynardinst @nabj. A committed #journalist who covers news as a public servant.
Committed Journalist with strong background in broadcast and digital media. I love chasing breaking news and the big story while mentoring talent and discovering new ways to share compelling content. I never do the job for likes, branding, or retweets.
I live nearby and don’t have a luxury house. I guess my family of six should be ashamed of our single home and star…
