I have spent over 40 years in the local television news business. After retiring recently, I feel I have some time and freedom to write about journalism, politics, the use of the English language, and some personal observations on life.
Journalism has changed dramatically over the last 40 years. Some of it for the better and some for the worse. I hope to talk about what I think works and how things can be better. I hope to get feedback and ideas from you.
How we use language to communicate ideas is at the heart of journalism and politics. I hope to look at great examples of both, and see how history can teach us about accommodation and compromise.
Finally, I want to write about personal experiences and observations on our life and times.
