Adam Bednar

Editor

United States

I've been working in journalism for just about my entire life. My first job was delivering the bi-weekly Maryland Gazette in Glen Burnie.

I participated in school newspapers from the time I was in middle school through the time I graduated from St. Bonaventure University in 2004.

I took my first job at the now defunct Cushing Daily Citizen in Cushing, Okla. where I served as a reporter and finally the managing editor. From there I went to work at the Joplin Globe in Joplin, Mo. before coming home to Maryland.

In 2006, I moved to Charles Village in Baltimore after being hired at the Baltimore Messenger. I worked at the Messenger until 2009 when I left to become the county government reporter at the Carroll County Times. I returned to covering Baltimore for North Baltimore Patch in November 2010.
