Journalism

I'm an old-fashioned generalist. I have a few pet interests—you'll see a lot of science and music clips here, for example—but I'm basically agnostic when it comes to subject matter. I'm basically interested in good stories, and those come in all flavors.

I'm also something of a swich-hitter. In addition to writing for commercial outlets like The New York Times, The Economist, and Wired.com, I've put my academic background (I have a PhD and served time as a college professor) to good use writing for alumni magazines and research publications at a number of colleges and universities. (There's also the copywriting thing, which is a whole different kettle of fish.)

For the sake of convenience, I've broken those two pools of clips out onto two separate pages: Commercial and Higher Ed. There are a few differences between them, but not as many as you might think.

A story's a story, after all. And all of these were written by the same guy.
