"The Paper Chase" - July 19, 2019

This week's puzzle is The Paper Chase by Matt Gaffney

The contest is a word describing a good journalist.

Somehow this would seem to favor muggles like Wendy who is an editor.

This is a fun one, for sure. I'm on shore and, given the swelter in the weekend forecast, am already casting about for shade and a bucket of ice.

... so true, especially these days! Solved, and will be happy to regale all on the beach with stories from my days as a beat reporter at The (Carlisle, PA) Evening Sentinel.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
