Morago, Words, Food = Something Special

Greg Morago, Houston Chronicle food editor

Greg Morago distinguished himself in many ways during his formative years at The Courant, but he was best known in-house and out as a master at putting together words about food.

His presence at local restaurants was both sought and feared, and his advice on where to get decent Chinese fare and other takeout was priceless in the newsroom.

So now he is at the Houston Chronicle and the rest of the world is catching up in its recognition of his many talents.  The Association of Food Journalists has named him a finalist for writing the best newspaper food feature at papers above 220,000 circulation. He is up against writers from the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal. Here’s what got him there.

Ohlemacher The Reminder

Stephen Ohlemacher of the AP

Every once in a while, a Courant veteran journalist breaks a really big story and reminds the rest of us that our alma mater newsroom was (and still is) the workplace of some of the nation’s best.

Such is the case these last few days as former reporter Stephen Ohlemacher, now with the AP, broke the story of how the IRS was targeting conservative groups. The fallout has been extensive.

It’s nice to be reminded how important the daily work of journalism can be.
