News Media

As a former G-15/10 US Government Chief for USIA-TV it is shocking to see our federal government foreign policy media arms ripped away in the USA.

The beginning of the end and the first day of the rest of my career. which took me to USIA-TV, Univision, and Telemundo to drop a few names.

I began my journalism career as an unpaid student intern at The Washington Post-Newsweek owned WPLG on the heels of Watergate. succeeded by Richard Nixon, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 38th president of the United States from 1974 to 1977.

I sought and achied early retirement from  The Associated Press, the world's oldest nonprofit news cooperative nearly five decades later when the GOP was still running the circus.

In 1999, before the millennium, I was hired by The Associated Press to help establish APTN North America and run the Television News Bureau. In 2005 I requested and received early retirement when I felt it was perfect timing and I had given all to news gathering . If we have the ambition and drive, then we must continue on. At 65, anyone can retire, but we can give back to society in many ways. Be on a teacher, or a mentor.. However we feel we can contribute. Life does not end at retirement. I transformed it into a new beginning.

NBC News Overnight was one of the smartest television news programs. Appealing to an eclectic audience of college students, nursing mothers, and late shift workers, the show broke the conventional "lowest common denominator" style of most news programs and injected humor into an otherwise seemingly boring medium, while providing news analysis of a kind usually unseen on other major-network newscasts. TIME named it one of the best programs, calling it "TV's wittiest, toughest, least snazzy news strip"and, one of the best programs of 1980s. The duPont Columbia Awards awards jury cited NBC News Overnight as "possibly the best written and most intelligent news program ever."
