It's interesting to see some of the things you find on the way to looking up other things.
Realized during a search recently that Google was archiving image files of newspaper stories, including some of the pieces during my years with Associated Press as a newsman, correspondent and news editor in Indiana, Tennessee and New York.
Not included are the 560 columns for the Indianapolis Star from 2000-03, the enterprise work on Iraq War veterans from 2003-05 or the online work as an editor and multimedia producer for IndyStar.com from '05-08 before joining Ball State University.

John Strauss leaves Indianapolis Star for Ball State job
From: Jon Sweeney/INI
To: StarNewsroom
Date: Monday, July 07, 2008 08:46PM
Subject: The Star’s loss is Ball State’s gain...
John Strauss, an editor on The Star’s Online desk, is leaving the newspaper to join the journalism faculty at Ball State University.
John has worked at The Star for 10 years, including stints as City Hall reporter, metro columnist, nonprofits reporter and as an enterprise reporter and “super GA,” traveling to Texas and Florida for the narrative story of a young Hoosier soldier’s recovery from wounds suffered in the Iraq War.
He was part of the team formed three years ago to enhance The Star’s online coverage, serving as the group’s multimedia editor and now as a content editor and as Sunday day city editor on the print side.
John was previously a supervising editor and correspondent for The Associated Press in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and New York City, and before that worked in local television as a reporter and weekend anchor.
At Ball State he will teach writing and reporting, and serve as faculty advisor to The Ball State Daily News, the school’s independent, student-run newspaper.
John starts in Muncie on Aug. 25. We’re still working out the timing of his departure from The Star, as well as the specifications for his sheet cake.
