Campus Insider Debuts in Education Section Sunday, May 20
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--May 17, 2001--The Boston Globe said today it will publish a new weekly column on higher education beginning Sunday, May 20. The column, entitled Campus Insider, will contain news items, trends and other reports from the world of higher education.
''One of the distinguishing characteristics of this region,'' said Globe Editor Matthew V. Storin ''is its higher education. We have nearly 50 colleges and universities in Greater Boston alone and some 250 more throughout the rest of New England. Many of these schools are regarded as the finest in the world and provide educational innovation and leadership envied by others. We are excited to expand our coverage of an enormously important part of the Greater Boston marketplace.''
Campus Insider will be written by Globe staff reporter Patrick Healy and will appear in the newspaper`s Sunday Education section, formerly named Learning. The paper welcomes ideas and suggestions to the column with a dedicated e-mail address: [email protected].
Healy, 29, has covered higher education for the Globe since joining the paper last July. He will continue as a higher education beat reporter while writing the new column. Before joining the Globe, Healy was a senior editor for two years at the Chronicle of Higher Education, a weekly newspaper, where he was in charge of political coverage. He was a political reporter at the Chronicle from 1994-1998, and prior to that, covered higher education for the Union Leader in New Hampshire.
A graduate of Boston College High School and Tufts University, where he studied English, Healy grew up in Scituate, Massachusetts and currently lives in Cambridge.
Campus Insider complements The Chalkboard, a weekly Sunday Globe column covering education K-12 by Laura Pappano, a journalist and visiting scholar at Northeastern University in Boston. That column, begun last October, features interviews with teachers, students, parents, principals and other educators, as they deal with the subjects and concerns that affect young children every day in and out of the classroom. Contributions to that column may be directed to [email protected].
The Boston Globe has five reporters dedicated to education reporting. Healy ([email protected]) and David Abel ([email protected]) cover higher education.
The Globe`s K-12 reporting team includes three full-time staff: Anand Vaishnav, who covers Boston Public Schools ([email protected]); Sandy Coleman, reporting on news and features across the state ([email protected]); and Scott Greenberger, covering statewide education, including the state Department of Education ([email protected]). Supervising coverage of higher education is
Douglas Bailey ([email protected]), and overseeing K-12 coverage is Marilyn Garateix ([email protected]).
