Visit Scribe's End Notes 

 

After serving as the editor-in-chief of the San Francisco Bay Guardian when that venerable progressive publication was suddenly shut down on Oct. 14, 2014, I found myself at a crossroads in my 25-year newspaper career.

   I went to work as a senior media specialist at the Center for Biological Diversity, focused on its oceans program. For almost seven years, I wrote and ghost-wrote more than 100 op-eds for major major media outlets around the country while continuing to do regular journalism on Medium, 48Hills.org, Byline and other outlets.

   Next I decided to return to full-time writing and consulting work, including writing articles, working on a book project and launching of Steven T. Jones Communications, a writing and media consultancy.

   For 2024, a pivotal year, I've returned to my roots as a news writer and columnist. I'll be writing a weekly column on Substack called Scribe's End Notes. Check it out here.

   My story has had a few plot twists over the last decade, but I'm committed to using my voice and my passion to continue pushing for the environmental, social, racial and economic justice that the world needs.
