For return visitors, a bit of explanation. Websites, like buildings or hairstyles, require maintenance and updating. They can fall out of fashion or become stuck -- quaint bits of nostalgia, defended with phrases like “but that was the style back then.” This site has been rehabbed as a sort of online time capsule.
I created this site in the late 1990s while working as a business reporter, meeting lots of newly-funded executives and well-paid PR agents. The portfolio of my articles has been updated to prove that I once wrote for ‘serious’ news outlets – the ink-on-paper journals that are rapidly becoming as quaint as "talkies" in cinema.
These days, I teach the news reporting skills to college students and work with executives to sharpen their marketing messages. I still write for publications and, occasionally, I post some new material here – so perhaps this electronic scrapbook will remove some of that ‘Old Economy’ paper from my desk.
Thanks for visiting, and for taking a ride in the Internet’s Way-Back machine.
