Bio
Tim Anderson, who grew up in Oakland, Neb., has taught Visual Literacy, Page Design, Advanced Editing, Magazine Editing and Design, Beginning Reporting and Depth Reporting. He received his bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and received a master's degree in history from UNL in December 2007.
Before returning to UNL in 2005, Anderson worked for more than 30 years in newspapers in Nebraska, Missouri, Florida and New York. He got his start on his hometown weekly newspaper, the Oakland Independent, and also worked for the Albion News and the Seward County Independent, two other Nebraska weeklies. In addition, he worked for the Lincoln Journal and the Omaha World-Herald in Nebraska, the Kansas City (Mo.) Times, the Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press and the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat and Chronicle. He later spent nine years at New York Newsday, eventually becoming executive news editor, and another nine years at The New York Times, where he served as the news design editor.
In his spare time, Anderson is writing a biography of one-time Nebraska poet laureate John G. Neihardt. Anderson's master's thesis examines the first 20 years of Neihardt's life.
