About

I’m Gary Moskowitz, a journalist, teacher, and musician based in London. Blogowitz is where I post links to my stories, blogs, teaching gigs, and music.

I blog about London for the New York Times and write about music, film, and art for More Intelligent Life, the online culture publication of The Economist. I teach journalism at City University London and the London School of Journalism.

My Twitter feed is here.

I’ve written about music for the Daily Telegraph, Spin.com, Dazed and Confused, the San Francisco Chronicle, Plenty.com, Paste.com, and Oh Dang! I’ve written about culture for Time Magazine, Economist.com, Village Voice, Intersection Magazine, and WireTap. I did data research on the House of Commons and the UK Political Database for the Daily Telegraph’s coverage of the 2010 General Election.

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 taught journalism and did 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 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.

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.
