As Enquirer Systems Editor, Charles manages the networks of Macintosh, PC and mainframe computers that the newsroom uses to produce the newspaper. He came to Cincinnati in 1994 from Wilmington, Del., where he was also a newspaper Systems Editor. Before working with computers, he spent more than a decade as a newspaper reporter and editor.
"Some people think that writing a computer column is my only job at The Enquirer. Actually, I do it as a kind of hobby, in my spare time. In covering computers, I think of myself as a journalist. My beat is primarily the Internet, because that's the hottest spot in personal computing right now. But covering the Internet is like covering a foreign country -- there's so much to write about and so much to explain, it's daunting."
