John co-founded the non-profit news site NJ Spotlight in 2009 on the belief that New Jersey needed an independent news and information source that focused on public policy and politics. NJ Spotlight has since grown to be among New Jersey’s most respected public affairs news sites, partnering with much of the major media in the state and winning state, national and international awards for journalistic excellence.
In 2019, it was acquired by WNET Public Media and joined forces with the former NJTV News to become NJ Spotlight News. Before NJ Spotlight, John covered education in New Jersey for 15 years as a reporter for The Newark Star-Ledger and The Bergen Record and as a contributing writer for The New York Times.
He continues to be a regular guest on New Jersey public media, including WHYY and WNYC public radio. He himself has won numerous state and national awards, including honors from the Education Writers Association and the American Society of News Editors. John speaks regularly at conferences and other events regarding new media, education, and politics.
