Media reporter David Bauder accepts buyout from AP

Posted

So…remember the story I wrote about The Associated Press offering buyouts to many of its employees? Well, I decided to raise my hand to volunteer and Thursday is my last day after nearly 40 years. Truthfully, the time to do something else was approaching, the offer was generous and if it clears a path for a younger colleague, so much the better. Through the AP, I had countless memorable moments and spent time with fascinating people I’d never otherwise meet (interview three Beatles? Come on). I worked with the industry’s best — hard-working people dedicated to a mission that gets more important by the day. The media beat has made me an evangelist for journalism, and I don’t expect that to end.
