Warren Boroson - Career

Career

In 1964 Boroson was managing editor of Fact Magazine, which was sued by Barry Goldwater for articles it published questioning Goldwater's psychological fitness to be president. Boroson has stated that David Bar-Illan was the creator of the article that helped lead to the lawsuit, even though his name was not listed originally. Boroson later asserted that Goldwater sued him and the magazine for two million dollars. Goldwater collected $75,000 from the publisher and the magazine, and $1 from the publisher, the magazine, and Boroson.

For the years 1990 and 2000, Boroson won the top business news-writing award from Rutgers/CIT. In 1996, he won the Investment Company Institute/American University personal finance writing award. In 2002 and 2004 he won the New Jersey Press Association's top business-writing award. He was formerly on staff at Money magazine and at Sylvia Porter's Personal Finance Magazine.

Boroson's career at the Daily Record of Morris County, N.J., ended rather abruptly in 2007. A new editor killed his nationally syndicated financial column, claiming that it was not local enough. (Boroson has maintained that the new editor had told him that readers identify him with the newspaper—and "I knew then that my goose was cooked.") After his column was killed, Boroson resigned.

He has had articles published in the New York Times Magazine, Woman's Day, TV Guide, Better Homes and Gardens, Reader's Digest, Consumer Reports, Family Circle, and Cosmopolitan Magazine.

Boroson teaches at the County College of Morris in Randolph, New Jersey. He has also taught at The New School, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Ramapo College, and Rutgers University.

In 2008, Boroson began teaching courses on famous singers of the past—Rosa Ponselle, Richard Crooks, Lotte Schoene, Conchita Supervia.

In 2009, Boroson was teaching classes on famous old singers at the County College of Morris, the JCC in Washington Township, and the Institute for New Dimensions. He won third place in the 2009 New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists contest for sports articles in a weekly, and first place for feature articles.
