Before becoming editor of Local Liberty Online, Sean Paige for 5 years served as editorial page editor at The Colorado Springs Gazette, where he vigorously championed the paper’s libertarian editorial philosophy. He spent 14 years before that in the belly of the beast, Washington, D.C., straddling the worlds of politics, journalism and think tanks.
His Washington work included stints at the White House and on Capitol Hill. He’s a former communications director and spokesman for Citizens Against Government Waste, a fiscal watchdog group; a former investigative writer for Insight, a one-time news weekly at The Washington Times; and he was Warren Brookes Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute in the year 2000. His foothold in Washington came courtesy of a National Journalism Center internship in 1988. In 2006 Paige won second place in the “public service” category from the Colorado Associated Press Editors and Reporters Association for a series of editorials demanding greater transparency in city government. His writing has appeared in many of America’s top newspapers and periodicals.
