World News Trust -- Defining The New Mainstream

About Me

I am a veteran wire service editor, with 15 years of wire service experience. I started as a desk editor at the UPI Detroit bureau in 1982, moved on to scripting broadcast news at the UPI Chicago National Broadcast Desk, and ended up as a Slot, Assignment, and Business Features editor on the UPI Financial Desk in New York City.In 1991, I founded Scoop News Service (no relation to the NZ Scoop, which came long after), providing "The Money Angle On The News" to the top 50 circulation U.S. newspapers over the AP distribution network. During this time I worked for several years as an editor at Market News International, at their New York and London bureaus.My latest endeavor is World News Trust -- Defining The New Mainstream.
