Ohio's Leading Independent Reporter Returns To Original Roots

It's been a wild and fun ride over the last 18 years covering people, politics, government and beyond.

Spinelli On Assignment: The Ohio Senate

From my small newspaper reporting days in Pickering, Ohio, to my credentialed service in the Ohio Legislative Correspondents Association at the Statehouse, my roller coaster ride of reporting includes long stints at now-defunct Examiner.com—where I wrote 1,500 stories that included coverage of the 2012 presidential race in Ohio and up close and personal interviews with newsmakers at the Chicago, Denver and New York City meetings of the Clinton Global Foundation.

As the senior policial at Plunderbund in Ohio from 2014 to 2018, I authored more than 1,000 reports that included the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in 2016 and the White House. I exited being a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit challenging a provision in an Ohio law related to online abuse and harassment.

The start of 2018 finds me returning to my original 2006 online reporting blog, Spinelli On Assignment.

At The White House Press Room

As Ohio's leading independent reporter, a label others have bestowed upon me that I don't quibble with given my documented portfolio, freedom and independence to take on all quarters, regardless of political persuasion, cannot be underestimated.

My reporting is designed to inform and educate like mainstream media often fails to do. Road Warning: You may encounter long sentences.
