I've been editor of the York Daily Record/Sunday News for more than 4 years and managing editor of the newspaper for 15 years before that. So, York Town Square explores the world of journalism. But I also studied York/Adams in graduate school and have written five books about these fascinating southcentral Pennsylvania counties. So, this blog deals with regional history. Often, journalism and history meet here. They're part of a continuum anyway. My hope is that this site intrigues readers on both accounts. Contact me at
