Investigative Reporter and Professor of Journalism

Karl ThumbnailWelcome to my website!

I’ve specialized in doing investigative reporting in a variety of media for more than 50 years. I teach as well as practice journalism. I’m a full professor of journalism at the State University of New York/College at Old Westbury, where my courses include Investigative Reporting and Environmental Journalism.

For 31 years, I’ve hosted the nationally aired TV program Enviro Close-Up, produced by the NY-based video production company EnviroVideo. I’ve also written and presented TV documentaries for EnviroVideo. These have included Three Mile Island Revisited, The Push to Revive Nuclear Power and Nukes In Space: The Nuclearization and Weaponization of the Heavens. Visit the EnviroVideo website to view my various programs online.

I have also been the chief investigative reporter for Long Island-based WVVH-TV. My documentaries for WVVH have included Renewables Are More Than Ready and Organic Farming: Can It Feed Us? All my WVVH documentaries are up on YouTube.
