Joined Institute
in 1996 after 18 years as national, metro, managing, and executive
editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, which was awarded 10 Pulitzer
Prizes for journalism he supervised. From 1969 to 1977, covered
White House, national politics, and impeachment of President Nixon
for The New York Times. Was a beat reporter (cops, courts, government,
and politics) for The Plain Dealer from 1962 to 1969; broke into
journalism as reporter/ photographer for the late Painesville
(Ohio) Telegraph in high school. B.A., University of Notre Dame.
Visiting lecturer at Modern Media Institute and Poynter; visiting
Marsh Professor of Journalism at University of Michigan. Recipient
of Sigma Delta Chi award for national correspondence, 1973. Was
only newspaper editor in America with fully operative chicken
machine in his office, perhaps because his most memorable moment
as a journalist could have been when he wore a chicken head to
a President Ford press conference in 1976.
