"Claire Caulfield is an editor’s dream.
She is smart. Ambitious. Creative. She’s a team player. She’s got a great eye for news and isn’t afraid of asking tough questions. She also has an incredible sense of empathy that she brings to her work, an important trait as newsrooms increasingly work to better engage with communities that have been underserved by media in the past." - Jessica Terrell Former deputy editor, Honolulu Civil Beat "As an accomplished young multi-media journalist, Claire has demonstrated outstanding proficiency in investigative research, reporting, long-form writing, digital presentation, podcasting and video. She is very hard-working, communicates well with a pleasing personality, shows great initiative, and juggles multiple assignments well under deadline pressure."
- Len Downie, Jr. Former executive editor, Washington Post Executive editor, News21 "She is high-energy but not at all high-stress. She always delivered, usually ahead of deadline, and was completely unflappable when under the gun.
She gets news - her sense of story and ability to work a room belie her age - and she sees the big picture in a way that not all young reporters can." - Steve Crane Washington D.C. Bureau Director, Cronkite News "I found Ms. Caulfield was able to adapt to any situation, which impressed both me and my colleagues. Ms. Caulfield is an engaging, precise reporter with a wide range of skills. She is creative, organized, dedicated and provides a thoughtful and insightful perspective in her work. She also distinguishes herself from other young journalists I've worked with, in that she is persistent and motivated, with a healthy respect for balance and for deadlines. She's also a real pleasure to work with."
