About JP Sottile
Here is my resume. I’ve worked in the media (PBS, NewsHour, C-SPAN, WJLA, among others) for the last four-plus years, hold a Master’s in History and will be launching NewsVandal.com with Mark Oatney and Mark Farkas as an alternative source of facts and information...and biting media criticism...in the coming months. Speaking as a television producer, I implore you to beware of your TV!
Drop me an email if you want to know more or hire me.
