Welcome Statement
 Duane Stoltzfus is a professor of communication at Goshen
College and chair of the Communication Department.
He serves as the faculty adviser for The Goshen College Record, which
closes a circle (he edited the paper, as a senior, in 1981). He directs the
Peace and Justice Journalism Program at the college, which sponsors reporting trips (most recently, to Swaziland and El Salvador), documentaries and other projects.
Stoltzfus serves as the copy editor for Mennonite Quarterly Review, a
journal that is devoted to Anabaptist-Mennonite history, thought, life
and affairs. The journal is a cooperative publication of Goshen College,
the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary and the Mennonite Historical
Society.
His articles have been appeared in Newspaper Research Journal, Journalism
History, The Common Review, The New York Times, The Indianapolis Star and other

Illinois Press in
2007. The book is based on his Ph.D. dissertation, which was completed at Rutgers University in 2001.
Before joining the faculty at Goshen College, he worked as a staff editor
on the national copy desk at The New York Times. Earlier, he reported the
news for The (Bergen) Record of Hackensack, N.J., The Daily Record of Morristown, N.J., Gannett Westchester Newspapers and, at the start,
The Brooklyn Paper.
He and his wife, Karen, who is also a GC graduate, live in Goshen with their two daughters. |
