Carl Knauf

Carl Knauf has nearly 25 years of experience as a writer and journalist. He was most recently an arts and features reporter and columnist for the Albuquerque Journal. He was also a contributor for the sports, business and city desks. Most importantly, he started on the all-knowing, under-appreciated, never-fazed, attitude-riddled copy desk. 

He has experience as a community journalist, editor and manager, and still serves as a stringer. Additionally, he poorly maintains his website with the occasional features, thoughts or updates no one is really that interested in reading. 

Carl’s research interests focus mostly on the unique practice of specialized beats, such as arts and sports, and the various professional and personal relationships and identities these reporters navigate. He also explores pop culture portrayals of journalists as a complementary influence of how the perceptions of real-life journalists are shaped. 

In addition, he has previously researched hardboiled crime, musical lyrics and push notifications as forms of communication. He is currently working on other kind-of-useless topics. 

In his free time, which is categorically endangered due to his two children, he is an athlete, musician, composer, screenwriter and author. He has published works in crime and literary
