I’m a college journalism professor and a freelance sports writer living in Charlotte, N.C., with my wife and an 8-year-old chocolate lab. It’s a good gig!
About me … and the blog
I'm a professor of journalism at Wingate University near Charlotte, N.C. I've also written about sports for newspapers and other publications for more than 30 years. This blog's mostly about journalism, especially sports media. But it could also be about whatever's interesting to me today. You never know.Categories

Hi Keith,
I like your website! Just found it when I googled you.
Hope you’re doing well, old buddy.
Just curious. Harry has asked me to string a couple of things but I’ve had conflicts. If you don’t mind, for future reference, what does the Big O pay for the various stuff you’ve been covering? I see they’re keeping you busy, my friend…
Take care,
Stan
It’s Sunshine Week next week, so I thought your readers might want to know about a blog dedicated to all the OI news out there…
