Here’s one of three Journo-listers with Chicago identities, the only one with a media position. (Will be posting about the other two, both academics.) This fellow was with Chi Trib, but not since June 2000 (long before JournoList was started in 2007), when he “left daily journalism to teach journalism at New York University,” per his GoozNews on Health site.

He’s currently at TheFiscalTimes.com, which has partnership arrangement with Wash Post and has been a landing spot for (probably) buyout-takers and others mostly from NY Times and Wash Post, whence this is taken.

He has impeccable liberal credentials, as one may judge from what’s below. He was perhaps an amused bystander to the conspiratorial goings-on at Journo-List. In any case, he kept them under his hat.
