BTW... Here is more on the career of John Schwada....in case you need the "411. John Schwada is a political-government and investigative reporter for KTTV Fox 11 in Los Angeles. He has won two Los Angeles area Emmy awards and a Golden Mike for his investigative reports, and is also a frequent contributor in the blogging community here on www.myfoxla.com. Prior to joining KTTV in 1996, Schwada worked as a political and City Hall reporter for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. In the 1980's he won LA Press Club awards for his series investigating Councilman Richard Alatorre's illegal use of campaign money in his 1985 council race and for his investigation of Mayor Tom Bradley's questionable ties to the Far East National Bank. In 1989, the LA Society of Professional Journalists named Schwada print journalist of the year. After the Herald-Examiner folded in Nov. 1989, Schwada was immediately hired by The Los Angeles Times where he helped develop a weekly political column for the paper's Valley edition, covered politics and City Hall. Schwada was a reporter for the Riverside Press-Enterprise, the Arizona Republic and the San Diego Union before moving to Los Angeles. He worked for the San Francisco Bay Guardian and The Economist in the 1970's as a freelance writer. His investigation of the work done by the San Francisco station of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) resulted in a first-place San Francisco press club award - the first ever won by the Guardian. Schwada earned a masters degree in American history from the University of California, Berkeley, where he also graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1970 with dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in history (honors program) and journalism.
