Doug Thompson Comforting the Afflicted and Afflicting the Comfortable

Old Hand, New Media

Newspaperman, writer, photographer, videographer, documentary filmmaker, political operative (briefly) and motorcyclist.

It's hard to put a handle on Doug Thompson. He sold his first story and photographs to a newspaper at age 12, became a full-time daily newspaper reporter at 17, columnist at 19 and city editor at 25.

Today, at 64, he continues to explore the medium with pointed, often acerbic opinion pieces, photography and films. Curious?
