Danny Glover's Bio
Danny Glover has been covering politics and policy issues in Washington for more than 15 years.
Glover currently is the editor of National Journal's Technology Daily and tracks the policy and political impact of blogs at Beltway Blogroll for NationalJournal.com. He began podcasting for Tech Daily this year; the publication's weekly audio roundup is available at the Tech Policy Pod. In 2006, Glover spearheaded Tech Daily's special series on the intersection between politics and technology, which included a story about podcasts and other new media on the campaign trail. Two podcasts recapped the series. Just before the election, Glover also oversaw the launch of the blog Tech Daily Dose.
Glover began his journalism career as a copy clerk and obituary writer at The Tampa Tribune and worked at the Dominion Post in Morgantown, W.Va., while going to college. He was the paper's local government and political reporter for several months after graduation. Glover also did an internship at the Charleston Daily Mail in his home state.
A native of West Virginia, Glover received an undergraduate degree in journalism from West Virginia University and a master's degree in journalism and public affairs from American University. He moved to the Washington area in 1991. Glover worked as a reporter and editor at Congressional Quarterly (CQ) for nearly seven years there. His passion for the Internet took root at IntellectualCapital.com (IC), a startup opinion e-zine where he worked from 1997 until it folded in 2000. At IC, Glover wrote about technology, health care and family issues, and authored a monthly column on congressional history.
Glover has authored and self-published to the Web a children's book titled "George Washington Beaver & The Cherry Tree." He wrote it under the pen name Mister Critter and is selling an e-book version and companion coloring book at MisterCritter.com.
After Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005, Glover worked with a Web designer to create Hurricane Job Hunter, a site where hurricane victims could seek help in getting cover letters and resumes as they searched for new jobs.
