Meet Luke Winiecke: The man behind "Where is It"
I'm a Retired Journalist who used to work with the Chicago Tribune. When working at the Tribune I was repeatedly pressured by my Editor's to stop writing fairly, and unobjectively. I ignored their impute, and continued writing fairly, and unobjectively. My editor threatened to fire me. I decided I could not take it and decided to quit.
​
I did not quit in the most conventional of ways. I had emailed my editor and article, but instead it was an article on why my editor was a bad person, and how real journalism is dead. I had published the article on the Tribunes website before my editor received the article, but the article was only up for a matter of minutes.
​
After I left the Tribune I spent 1 month doing nothing in my apartment, but when I was reminded of why i went into the Industry, I decided to keep my head high. I gathered a few of my fellow friends. None of my Friends thought the Website would work out. But a few of them agreed to write a few articles here, and there as a side job for free.
