Comments

Investigative reporter who joined the Review-Journal in February 2006. During 2006, he wrote about terrorism preparedness (yawn!) and the criminal trials of former county commissioners. In March 2007, he authored an impressive series of in-depth articles on the contract attorney system used both in criminal court and juvenile court. This series was way more intelligent and thorough than we would ever expect from the Rebuke-Urinal. This is not the way we do things in Vegas! We predict that it won't be long before Maimon is run out of town or absorbed into the Borg collective (like this reporterExternal Link - Will open in new window).

From an Oct. 2003 bio in the Louisville, Ky., Courier-Journal....

Maimon left the Courier-Journal at about the time they closed their Eastern Kentucky bureau. From a 1/30/06 New York TimesExternal Link - Will open in new window article:

    On a rainy day in mid-January, Alan Maimon, a reporter here for The Louisville Courier-Journal, packed up his desktop computer, fax machine and printer in his company-owned Ford Explorer. He then drove three hours to Louisville, turned in the equipment to the newspaper and, with that, officially brought to a close The Courier-Journal's storied Hazard bureau in eastern Kentucky.

    "The paper doesn't even circulate here anymore," Mr. Maimon, 33, said before leaving the bureau he has run from his house for the last five years. "There's no financial reason to keep it open."

Prior to 2000, Maimon was assistant to the bureau chief of the Berlin, Germany, bureau of the New York Times. (sourceExternal Link - Will open in new window). Presumably, he is bilinqual in German.
