Biography
After graduation from Stanford University and Stanford Law School, I worked for many years as a lawyer in private and corporate practice. Along the way my life took an unexpected turn as I became involved in various journalistic projects. Since 1988 I have attended all twelve Democratic and Republican National Conventions as a reporter, photographer, or cable television interviewer. In the 1990s I produced and hosted a half-hour interview and documentary program in Los Angeles entitled "Ed Anderson’s Journal," which was shown on cable systems in California, Wisconsin, Washington, DC, and Manitoba, Canada. My guests were mainly politicians and writers. One episode, an oral history entitled “Deportation to Siberia: The Story of Laima Veckalne Linalaid,” was broadcast on Latvian State Television. Between 2001 and 2004 I wrote numerous times for David Horowitz’s FrontPageMagazine.com. My articles were cited by various media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal’s “Best of the Web Today” and The Washington Times. I also was a guest on the Larry Elder radio show to discuss my article about bias in the news columns of the Los Angeles Times. More recently I have written for MindingTheCampus.com, the website of the Center for the American University at the Manhattan Institute, and (in English) for LAIKS, an internationally circulated Latvian newspaper.
