About Me

Hackensack, NJ, United States
Starting in 1979, I was a reporter, copy editor and food writer at The Record of Hackensack, N.J. I was forced to retire in May 2008, several months after I filed an age-discrimination lawsuit against top managers and editors of the paper over selection of the food editor. I had nearly 40 years' experience at daily newspapers in the Northeast, 29 of them at The Record. I now write two blogs, Do You Really Know What You're Eating? (which focuses on food shopping and finding pure ingredients for home-cooked meals) and Eye on The Record (a critical look at a once-great suburban daily newspaper in northern New Jersey). I feel newspapers such as The Record abandoned their readers long before they stopped reading the papers. See April 2010 posts for the outcome of my lawsuit and related commentary.
