I’m Gary Moskowitz, a journalist and musician based in London. Blogowitz is where I post links to my stories, blogs, journalism teaching, and music.
I blog about London for the New York Times and write for More Intelligent Life, the online culture publication of The Economist. I tutor young journalists at LIVE Futures, and teach journalism at City University London and London School of Journalism. My Twitter feed is here.
I’ve written about music for Spin.com, Dazed and Confused, the San Francisco Chronicle, Plenty.com, Paste.com, and Oh Dang! I’ve written about pop culture for the Village Voice, Intersection Magazine, and WireTap.
The Nation, Arts & Letters Daily, and AlterNet have re-posted my stories.
I wrote, blogged, produced multimedia, and fact-checked for Mother Jones Magazine from February 2007 to September 2008. I facilitated teen journalism programs and conducted research at the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism at San Francisco State University from 2006 to 2007.
From 2005 to 2006 I was assistant editor at Pop and Politics, a San Francisco-based online magazine where I hosted a weekly podcast, wrote, blogged, and produced audio. From 2000 to 2004, I was a reporter for daily and twice-weekly community news publications of the Los Angeles Times.
I’ve played trumpet for the punk-soul band Damon & the Heathens, Kimby, the ska band SeeSpot, and the Florida band Baccone Dolce, among others.
I studied political science at Florida State University, journalism at Florida A&M University, and earned a master’s degree in education at San Francisco State University.
Before pursuing journalism, I was a flower delivery van driver, a Greyhound Bus terminal attendant, a ski lift operator, prep cook, dishwasher, and a Starbucks comment card reader.

Hi Gary Thanks for the article Are Shorter Showers Beside the Point.
I need to verify that shortening showers by 1 minute reduces GHG by 1/4 pound.
Can you please direct me to the source of your data?
I’m in water conservation and this data is very interesting to us..
