Here I am, after all the years of being a reporter and columnist and editor, a bona fide publisher, of sorts.

Sure, I’m not publishing a newspaper in print, although don’t think the notion hasn’t crossed my mind. In fact, I have dreamed of being the editor of a small newspaper since I was in high school. I guess the opportunity just never presented itself and now, well, I’m writing for a weekly (The Sentinel) and posting stuff on my own news and information website (gloucestercountyonline.com).

I went to a meeting of the Greater Woodbury Chamber of Commerce the other day as an invited guest of a member. The folks there welcomed me warmly, although most didn’t really know I had a new website until I told them. They were just being nice because of the name recognition 30 years in the business in Gloucester County brings.
