Warren Cohen: Write On!!

My Journalism History: The very early years

Me (on the left), age 10, with an issue hot off the press

My first job in journalism job was editor of "WRITE ON!", a monthly family newspaper. My staff included ace reporter, brother Evan ( a.k.a. "Scoop.")

Readers complained when we started (and stopped) the monthly serialized story in mid-sentence (see lead piece below.)
Circulation hit about 25 people, including our teachers. We were puzzled why they would want to read about our family.
The paper ran for about two years until we found other hobbies. Maybe it was my editing, but Evan didn't pursue journalism.
