City Pulse
I started City Pulse in 2001 (just before 9/11) after 30 years in
mainstream journalism and academia. I started as a reporter
at
the Philadelphia Bulletin, a 700,000-circ. daily , then joined
The
Louisville Times as a statewide political reporter, which led to
its
D.C. bureau, then to Scripps Howard to cover Congress. I
became an editor in the bureau (and ran the chain's 1984
Olympic coverage in L.A.), then to Knoxville as m.e. and York,
Pa., as exec. ed., then a brief stint in D.C. as UPI bureau
chief. I
took a leave to be a visiting prof at the University of Okla. --
where of all places I came out, effectively ending my
mainstream
career. I ran the student newspaper at Michigan State
University
for seven years before starting CP.
