The Charlotte Observer welcomes a new service journalist. Meet Eva Flowe
The North Carolina service journalism team has a new teammate. Eva Flowe began with The Charlotte Observer on Monday, April 13.
Eva is originally from Durham and served as the managing editor of The Daily Gamecock at the University of South Carolina.
She was most recently at The Daily Courier in Rutherford County, where she wrote a range of stories each week covering local council meetings, crime, rural healthcare, weather, community events and everything in between. She was the only full-time reporter at the publication.
Fun fact: Eva is a recently licensed drone photographer.
Healthcare, local utility reporting
One of the topics Eva covered for The Daily Courier was healthcare, including stories on an uptick in measles cases in Rutherford County. After one story on measles published, Eva said a neighbor knocked on her door to ask for her advice on vaccinations.
As the child of nurses, she says, that encounter validated her decision to become a journalist.
Eva will specialize in utility reporting for North Carolinians spanning healthcare, local government, trending topics, our changing landscape and lots in between.
She joins a service journalism team that includes Tanasia Kenney at The Charlotte Observer, and Renee Umsted, Anna Roman, Drew Jackson and Simone Jasper at The News & Observer in Raleigh. The team is led by Kimberly Cataudella Tutuska.
