Joe Killian

Roles: News & Record Writer and Blog Author

Joe Killian covers higher education for the News & Record.

He was drawn into reading first by comic books - which led to more "serious" literature through all the pretentious Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett quotes comics writers used to make themselves feel better about writing stories about overgrown men fighting each other in bright underwear.

These days he still enjoys comics and...ahem...graphic novels, but is also a sucker for a great mystery or sci-fi yarn and devours nonfiction and biographies as well.

College: University of North Carolina at Greensboro

Work Experience: Began writing professionally at The Bristol Press in Bristol, Conn. Served several newspaper internships while in college, including at The Cape Cod Times in Hyannis, Mass. Began writing for the News & Record part-time in the Life section and as a columnist for Go Triad. Came on staff full time as the paper's Night Cop reporter before covering the city of High Point and then becoming the Higher Education reporter.
