Professional Experience

GREGORY CLAY (202) 629-1365 My resume can be viewed at: www.gdclay.com I am a tireless worker with the insightful instinct of a visionary. Call it basic instinct. I am a veteran media industry member with a roll call of accomplishments and highlights through the years. I have written news stories, crafted commentaries and columns, appeared on television talk shows and edited stories in fast-paced environments for most of those years. In the 1980s, I produced highly read commentaries and columns on various sports topics. In the 1990s, I appeared on several national television shows from BET to "Geraldo" to discuss a variety of topics from the sports world to socio-cultural issues. During the decades of the 2000s, I edited sports stories as well as produced content for paginated pages. For example, I produced the content for a one-year look-back after the death of pop singer Michael Jackson.

THE BEATLES
(McClatchy 2/1/2014)
The nation this year celebrated the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion --- when the Beatles first came to U.S. shores in 1964. The hoopla, The Ed Sullivan Show, the girls, the songs, the screaming, the ambiance . . . . . . Ladies and gentlemen: the Beatles.
