After a 25-year career in Virginia journalism, James A. Bacon founded Bacon’s Rebellion in 2002 as a website and electronic newsletter. He added the blog as a companion piece in 2005, and with financial support from the Piedmont Environmental Council published a series of investigative and in-depth articles about transportation, land use, the environment and energy in Virginia.
In 2009, Bacon took a full-time job as Vice President-Publishing with the Boomer Project. He continued publishing the blog, relying primarily upon guest contributors, and passed on the website and electronic newsletter to the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy. Leaving the Boomer Project, Bacon took time off to write his book, “Boomergeddon: How Runaway Deficits Will Bankrupt the Country and Ruin Retirement for Aging Baby Boomers — And What You Can Do About It,” publish the accompanying “Boomergeddon” blog, and contribute op-ed pieces to the Washington Times.
Now Bacon is back, re-launching Bacon’s Rebellion in partnership with the Thomas Jefferson Institute as a unified publication with the blog and newsletter housed on the same website. We have a new design, a new editorial format and a new business plan.
