We woke up to some excellent news. Our friend and colleague, fellow blogger Corinne McKay, who pens the excellent Thoughts on Translation, posted a link about another dear colleague, Abigail Dahlberg, who was profiled on the first page of the Los Angeles Times! We are so proud of her, and we've always thought that her specialization, which is German to English waste management, was incredibly interesting and relevant. We missed Abigail at this year's ATA conference, but clearly, she was well remembered by all; which resulted in this article.
Who knew -- translators on the front page of the Los Angeles Times? It's fantastic news for our profession. Congratulations to Abigail, to the LA Times for a well-researched article, and thanks to Corinne for letting us know about the article (even though Judy lives on the West Coast, she's a NYT girl).

Thanks for the kind words, Judy! I missed spending time with all of my fellow bloggers in New York. Only 11 months to Denver!
My pleasure. So tell us, tell us: how did this article come about? As a profession, we should really try to work towards getting more media coverage, so perhaps there are lessons to be learned from your article? We'd love to hear details about the interview process, about how they came to approach you (or vice versa), etc. Too bad there wasn't a picture of you!
