Instead of staying home, Jim struck out on his own to report on the stories that interest him most. Paragon City soon became his favorite subject, and he developed an intense interest in the various gangs that fight for control of its streets. Jim loves to look for the human angle of every story, and he often interviews the families of gang members as well as their victims. In doing so, he gathers a lot of information, some of it off the record. If there's a problem Jim can't deal with in print, he'll call in a friendly hero to help him out. That is, of course, if that hero is willing to give him exclusive rights to the story.
