A visit to the Newseum in Washington D.C. would change my life forever. After viewing a gallery of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs there, I was inspired and motivated to make a difference in society. I decided that I wanted to do something meaningful with my life and being a photojournalist was the answer. What I love about being a photojournalist is that I get to learn something new on each assignment, meet interesting people and serve the community that I cover. When a camera isn’t in my hands, I like to travel, play table tennis, and stuff my face with delicious food.","slug":"jeff-woo","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"last_updated_date":"2023-05-25T18:37:13.717Z","custom_tagline":"Contact Jeff Woo at

A visit to the Newseum in Washington D.C. would change my life forever. After viewing a gallery of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs there, I was inspired and motivated to make a difference in society. I decided that I wanted to do something meaningful with my life and being a photojournalist was the answer. What I love about being a photojournalist is that I get to learn something new on each assignment, meet interesting people and serve the community that I cover. When a camera isn’t in my hands, I like to travel, play table tennis, and stuff my face with delicious food.","fuzzy_match":false,"author_type":"Times Staff

A nifty 102.9, which is 29th in the league and the second-worst in franchise history."},{"_id":"4U3IUXKRAZA4BLJSRGFZLT7WMA","additional_properties":{"inline_comments":[],"comments":[],"_id":1732376942917},"alignment":"left","type":"text","content":"Hard to cover up that much misery with a smiley face."},{"_id":"CGCSKCZ4VFBSHHZEGZGWSKSGNU","additional_properties":{"inline_comments":[],"comments":[],"_id":1732376942918},"alignment":"left","type":"text","content":"But I’m going to try."},{"_id":"BMTKQ4DBTJBJZAGC47FVFFVYPA","additional_properties":{"inline_comments":[],"comments":[],"_id":1732376942919},"alignment":"left","type":"text","content":"Seven weeks from now, Tampa Bay’s pass defense numbers will be better.
