I've worked at the People's World for the last two years as Editor-in-Chief, and for the nine years prior to that as the publication's Labor Editor.

I got my start in journalism as editor of The Downtowner, the newspaper at St. John's University in Brooklyn, New York. In 1971, I went to work as, first, a political action reporter, and then as desk editor of the Daily World where I stayed until 1989. The Daily World was the predecessor of People's World and it, like the PW, traced its lineage back to the Daily Worker, founded in 1924

I was among the first in the nation to cover the election of Eddie Carthan, the first African American mayor elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction, and the failed effort by Mississippi Delta racists to frame him for murder. I experienced personal assaults, including a fire bombing of my motel room by the Ku Klux Klan. During that time, I also worked to lessen the danger of the Cold War by organizing cultural and other exchanges between the U.S. and the German Democratic Republic (GDR), bringing delegations of well-known Hollywood movie actors to that country and cultural figures from there to the United States.

In between my stints at the Daily World/People's World I was a union organizer, organizing workers in Northern New Jersey into the UFCW. I've won a handful of awards from the International Labor Communication's Association for my reportage on how a small town in California bested a giant oil corporation, uncovering a two-tier wage scheme in the auto industry, and how de-industrialization in Pennsylvania steel mills created a literal diaspora of Steeler football fans surviving at anything thousands of miles from home.

Given the threat of Donald Trump and the ultra-right, I feel that the People's World is needed now more than ever. He is an unprecedented threat to the lives and livelihoods of all working people. You can find some of my most recent pieces on his presidency here, here, and here.

With no further ado, ask me anything!

I'm Mark Krikorian and this is my first AMA. I run a small think tank in Washington, D.C., called the Center for Immigration Studies -- www.cis.org. Our staff and outside Fellows put the "think" in think tank, writing on Census Bureau data, refugee resettlement, the immigration courts, deportation statistics, visas-for-sale scandals, and the like. The Center makes the case for a pro-immigrant policy of low-immigration -- fewer immigrants but a warmer welcome.

As for myself, I'm basically a hack and a flack. My CIS writing is here: http://cis.org/Krikorian-Publications and my National Review stuff is here: http://www.nationalreview.com/author/mark-krikorian. Being both lazy and smart-alecky, I've found Twitter to be the ideal medium; my handle is @MarkSKrikorian.
