Jill Stewart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jill Stewart is a print, radio, Internet, and television political commentator. From 1984 through 1991, she was a metro reporter with the Los Angeles Times. From 1997 through 2003, she authored a weekly commentary column on Los Angeles, southern California, and Sacramento politics for the now-defunct alternative newspaper New Times LA. That "acerbic, iconoclastic" column propelled Stewart into the public conscious and made her a "must-read for many in town", particularly the LA power elite.

Stewart's awards include one for Best Column In The Nation by the American Society of Newspaper Columnists, in 2001, and Top Columnist in Los Angeles, by the Los Angeles Press Club, in 2002.

Stewart is a frequent guest on the local radio show AirTalk, on Pasadena City College's NPR radio station, KPCC, on PBS affiliate KCET's Life & Times, KABC-AM's Larry Elder Show, and Adelphia Cable's Week in Review (formerly hosted by current City Councilman Bill Rosendahl).
