Disclosure statement
I often tend to write about local media issues. I am or have been either a full-time employee or freelancer with publications associated with Chicago magazine, Playboy, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Time Out Chicago and Chicagoist. I’ve appeared as a commentator on programs associated with WTTW, WGN and WBEZ. I’ve appeared on panels, organized events and socialized with people from countless blogs and media entities. In short, it would be impossible to write about media in Chicago if I restricted myself to writing only about those outlets with which I’ve never been associated.
To the best of my ability, I try not to let the above color my opinions. Where such interactions might cloud my judgment on an issue, I tend to avoid writing about the topic altogether or confess to a specific bias or association so the reader can judge for him or herself.
