Jeremy G. Burton is a graduate of the University at Buffalo, where first and foremost he earned an unofficial education in journalism, though the official result was a B.A. in English.

A 2007 Summer Fellow at Poynter, Burton has interned at the Buffalo News, the Jewish Week, and the Plainview Herald.

After his sophomore year as news editor of UB's thrice-weekly undergrad newspaper, he was chosen to lead the Spectrum as its editor in chief. As editor, he continued to personally cover some of the UB community's most urgent stories while both managing the daily ins and outs and teaching a class for new writers.

He is currently reporting up a storm for the Times-Tribune in Scranton, Pa.
