This blog is a teaching tool. Teaching me, mostly. Strange how a person who spent most of his life writing and telling other people's stories finds himself so reluctant to tell anything about his own.
spent more than 35 years as a newspaperman---obsolete term!, most of them at Newsday on Long Island. Now teach journalism at Hofstra University. Trying like everyone else to figure out what the newspaper of the future will be. It probably won't be in print.
