Tim Masters was living a nightmare. Until four years ago, he was serving life in prison for a gruesome murder he didn’t commit. In 2008, he was set free. He eventually settled with the city of Fort Collins and Larimer County for $10 million. Writer Mitch Gelman interviewed the key figures in the case for his piece in this month’s 5280 Magazine and spoke with Ryan Warner.

Q &amp; AWhy I became a journalist: I have always been fascinated by people and their unique experiences, and I love the news. So, it was a perfect fit. I grew up in a political family, and we always talked about issues and politics at the dinner table. But I never wanted to work in politics – I always preferred understanding issues from different perspectives. I think the most powerful stories are the ones told by those who are affected, whether it be health care reform, welfare, education, justice issues or the economy. And, I enjoy telling those stories. Why I got into radio: While I was in journalism school, I was offered the chance to help out at WBAI – a public radio station in New York City. I had written a story for school on Amerasian children who moved here from Vietnam after the war. The folks at WBAI let me turn it into a radio story – and I was hooked. I liked it better than print because radio adds a special texture to a story. And I preferred radio to television because I think people being interviewed are more honest when they talk into a microphone, rather than a camera. How I ended up at CPR: I was newly married, and my husband wanted to move to the mountains. At the time, I was at National Public Radio in Washington, D.C. We moved to Denver, and I began talking to people at Colorado Public Radio. It was really the only place I wanted to work – and the rest is history.
