C.W. Nevius on 36 Years at the San Francisco Chronicle

San Francisco Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius is leaving the paper after 36 years of entertaining, informing and sometimes infuriating Bay Area residents. Forty years ago, Nevius left a career as an English teacher to cover high school sports for a small Colorado paper. He later landed at the Chronicle, first as a sports writer and then as a columnist who was a frequent irritant to San Francisco’s progressive politicians and activists for his stances on the homeless and other issues. We’ll talk to Nevius about his career, leaving journalism and what it’s like for a guy who would be considered liberal in most cities, to be thought of as San Francisco’s staunch conservative.
