Popular Publications
1. More than 80 news releases during four-year tenure in North Carolina State University ’s News Services office. These releases promoted, to local, state, and national media representatives, NC State University biological, natural resources, and physical science research advances; technology transfer efforts; and educational programs.
These news releases resulted in news stories in USA Today, The Washington Post, U.S. News & World Report, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Popular Mechanics, Business Week, ESPN: The Magazine, National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation: Science Friday, New York Newsday, The Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, The (Raleigh) News & Observer, The Charlotte Observer, and other major media outlets.
2. Several dozen bylined stories in The (Raleigh) News & Observer from December 1996 to November 1997, including “The futile war on fire ants” (Oct. 25, 1997), “Stalkers of the Coastal Plain” (about North Carolina’s carnivorous flora, June 30, 1997), and “Hurricane Fran’s latest legacy: Rash of poison ivy” (June 11, 1997).
3. A weekly nonpartisan political analysis column in the 50,000-circulation Waterloo/Cedar Falls ( Iowa ) Courier newspaper, from September 1994 through November 1996. These columns described, among other things, behind-the-scenes political wrangling at the Iowa Statehouse, the national influence of Iowa’s members of Congress, the activities and prospects of Republican and Democratic presidential candidates in Iowa, and the impact of legislation on the Courier’s northeast Iowa readership.
4. Several hundred news stories on state and national politics and public policy in Iowa while political reporter at the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier (September 1994-November 1996). These include between three and six news stories filed each day while the Iowa General Assembly was in session, and many covering the 1996 first-in-the-nation Iowa presidential caucuses, the 1996 Democratic and Republican national conventions, and the 1994 and 1996 primary and general elections.
