Roseberry is an award-winning journalist who was a reporter and editor for two newspapers and the Associated Press in Japan as well as half a dozen newspapers along the East Coast from 1955 until the early 2000s. "Those were the glory days of journalism when you could take what you read in your daily newspaper or heard from Murrow or Cronkite on TV to the bank," he says. "That was before the words 'fake and news' had ever been used in proximity, let alone purveyed shamelessly by so called news media." J.R. received a degree in journalism from the University of South Carolina, then pursued postgraduate studies in philosophy at Sophia University in Tokyo and Old Dominion College in Virginia. His newspaper employment included Pacific Stars & Stripes and the Okinawa Morning Star in Japan, The State in Columbia, SC, the Atlanta Journal, Savannah Morning News, Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, and the Washington Post. After serving 20 years as a reporter, editor and manager for The Post, he retired and moved to Tybee Island, Ga., where he edited and published the Tybee News, a tabloid newspaper covering Tybee and nearby islands. He also wrote a weekly column for the Savannah Morning News entitled J.R.'s Island View, and took up fiction, music and lyric writing. His initial venture into fiction won a contest for writers throughout the Southeast. Entitled Helen, it was published as the lead story in the 2015 Savannah Anthology. His music has been recorded by a popular area musician and is played regularly at an island church. J.R. says he expects to continue writing as long as his fingers and mind remain functional.During the Covid 19 pandemic friends urged J.R. to publish a compilation of his newspaper columns in a book featuring islanders who helped make Tybee the Mecca for tourists and retirees it is today.You are now reading the third book in a series which is the result of those suggestions.voir moins
