martin_wisckol.jpgOrange County Register reporter Martin Wisckol attended San Diego State University, where he received a degree in American literature and worked at the college daily newspaper with future luminaries Frank Mickadeit and Dan Weintraub.

Martin Wisckol’s mother rallied for Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign and his father was an anti-Vietnam War organizer. The first story Wisckol sold was to Surfing magazine, followed by jazz articles to Downbeat. He still files an occasional surfing or jazz piece for the Register, but has been writing primarily about government and politics since 1985.

His first newspaper jobs were in his hometown of San Diego, followed by work in Detroit, Jacksonville (Florida), and Miami. Along the way, he has put in extended stints in Japan, South America and Switzerland. He became the Register’s political reporter in 1998, when he also took the lead for the weekly Buzz column. He lives in Huntington Beach.

His work has been honored by the National Headliner Awards, the Society of Professional Journalists, the California Newspaper Publishers Association, and the Florida Press Club, among others.

Please join us for what will undoubtedly be an instructive and compelling evening.

Please bring Canned or Non-Perishable Food Items to support SOS (Share Our Selves) in Costa Mesa.  With high unemployment this food bank needs our help.  Thank you for anything you can provide!
