Walt has written for dozens of newspapers and magazines on subjects
from endangered sea turtles and how to buy a man's suit to college
baseball and British musicians. He wrote about his experiences on the
TV game show Jeopardy! and told his own coming out story in the Los
Angeles Times Magazine. Some samples of his work...
Walt's first international credit and his first cover story for
the British music magazine, AND. There were billboards
featuring the cover story about Joe Brooks in Southampton.
(Unfortunately, the magazine is not online.)
Walt had previously written about Brooks at the start of the
musician's career a San Diego web site Vyuz.
Walt's article for AND was used as a primary source for
Brook's Wikipedia entry.
Walt's coming out story was printed in the Los
Angeles Times Magazine in 2001 and got a huge
response from all over the world. It was reprinted in
Portugal and Thailand. He appeared on the
television show "Speak Out" in Boston to talk about
the article and the response he received from it.
Walt chronicled his experiences on
the television show Jeopardy! for the
Pittsburgh Press Sunday Magazine.
Unfortunately the newspaper
no longer exists, so this a scan of
