Journalism by Laura Hagar Rush
I've worked as a journalist in the Bay Area and North Bay for over twently years. From 2002-2005, I was an editor at NorthBay biz, a glossy monthly covering business in Sonoma, Napa and Marin. From the late-eighties through the nineties, I worked as a reporter, columnist and book reviewer at the East Bay Express in Berkeley. Here are a few samples of my work. (Alas, most of my work at the Express was pre-digital.)
