About the Post-Dispatch newsroom
Staff members of the Post-Dispatch often have multiple responsibilities, but the essence of their work is to produce an accurate report of regional, national and international news for you, our readers. To do their jobs reliably and well, they need to be in contact with you and to be able to listen to your concerns and opinions and to hear your suggestions and tips. The information below offers ways to reach members of the staff who are directly in charge of the written, pictorial and graphic content of the newspaper. You'll notice that names of reporters, writers and critics are not listed. These staff members are identified by the bylines at the beginning of their stories and articles, and their e-mail addresses and telephone numbers are found at the end of their stories. The list that follows is divided into categories that reflect the composition of the newspaper: Main news is news of the nation and the world, and high-profile regional stories -- the front section. Metro news is local and regional coverage. Editing and presentation means headline writing, copy editing, photographs, illustrations, charts and graphs. Features incorporates the Everyday section, the A&E section, Get Out, Food, Travel, StyleWest and Lifestyle.
