Matt Simon's Articles

Here's a little about me. I'm originally from Albany, N.Y. I relocated to the area for college. I'm in my last semester at Goucher College in Towson. I'm majoring in Communications & Media Studies, with an interest in journalism. I am also a full-time producer for a local television news station. My duties for b include posting periodically to the website. I also try to produce at least one video a week for the web. If you pick up Wednesday's b, you'll see my weekly technology column. Anything else you want to know? Shoot me an e-mail... matt.r.simon [ a t ] gmail.com.
